In the words of Billy Connolly: ?It's them again, mammy!? Yes, it's the Glasgow Tigers who revisit Armadale on Friday (7.30), having finally broken a long run of home success for Edinburgh in these derby matches only three weeks ago with a six-point win and three Premier League points.

Tonight's meeting was in most respects one of the worst that Edinburgh Speedway fans have ever had to put up with ? poor entertainment, a heavy defeat and a meeting which ran far too long.

The Scotwaste Monarchs face Glasgow again at Armadale this Friday, in the knowledge that the Tigers are well on the way to annexing the title Monarchs won last year, and with a determination to show that they are a much better side than the one defeated at home by Glasgow three weeks ago.

After his excellent performance last Friday, the Scotwaste Monarchs have given Byron Bekker their no. 6 jacket on a permanent basis (subject to the BSPA approving the side).

The rain wasn't forecast but arrived early anyway, but had little effect on the Scotwaste Monarchs who stormed to a 61-33 win over Redcar.

Edinburgh went a long way to wiping out memories of recent poor displays with a very strong and solid performance to wipe out Redcar.

The Scotwaste Monarchs face another very serious challenge at Armadale this Friday (7.30) when the formidable Redcar Bears side motor up from Teesside on the hunt for some valuable away Premier League points that could see them take over the sixth spot previously occupied by Edinburgh.

The Scotwaste Monarchs have had an enforced fortnight out of action due to bad weather but return to the track with a visit from the attractive Redcar team to Armadale this Friday.
