The Stellar Monarchs move on from some recent success in the BSN Series to start their Championship campaign, which in most people's eyes is the main business of the season. The visitors on Friday night at Armadale will be the Plymouth Gladiators and Monarchs are aiming to make a flying start.

Stellar Monarchs are delighted to welcome fans, players and staff from Falkirk FC to this Friday's opening Cab Direct Championship encounter against Plymouth Gladiators.

It had been billed in the run up as a 'titanic tussle against the Tigers' and boy it did not disappoint as the Stellar Monarchs edged out the home men in a match that literally went to the last yard of an added on 'Super Heat' that was needed to seperate the sides.

Deeper into the season than is normally the case, the first all-tartan clash between Edinburgh and Glasgow - if you discount April 12th's abandoned fixture at Ashfield - finally gets underway this weekend. And there's a great deal at stake…

Stellar Monarchs have continued to grow their partnership network with the addition of a fantastic tie up with Livingston Football Club.

The Stellar Monarchs ripped into this Knockout Cup second leg with such gusto that for a time, an aggregate victory looked a possibility. But Poole are made of strong stuff with some top-line performers, and they re-asserted themselves and had qualification sealed by heat 13. Monarchs took the victory on the night which will be some consolation as they look forward to BSN Series and Championship commitments in the next few weeks.

For the second weekend in a row the Stellar Monarchs are tasked with recovering points arrears from away defeats to give themselves a chance of continued involvement in two different competitions.

The Stellar Monarchs were reasonably happy to leave Poole Stadium last week with just a 9-point deficit in the Knockout Cup quarter final first leg, having lost 40-49. It could have been closer but the team believe they are well in this tie with a chance, though as always against the Pirates of Poole it will be very tough.

Stellar Monarch Max James was amongst the qualifiers from tonight's British Under-21 Championships qualifier at Plymouth. He scored 8 points and will join the field for the final at Glasgow on Sunday 2nd June. Academy rider Sam McGurk scored 4 and didn't make the cut.
