KNOCK OUT CUP ACTION

Following last Friday's abandonment at Armadale the Border Roofing Monarchs travel to Redcar this evening for the first leg of the Travel Plus Tours Knock Out Cup Quarter Final.

It's just four weeks since we were last at the South Tees Moto Park and on that occasion we went down to a surprise defeat by 47 to 43. We certainly wouldn't wish for defeat tonight by any more than that as the Bears were just two points adrift last Friday when the match was abandoned.

Richie Worrall is our guest at number one and Rob Branford returns to the team at number 7. The Bears, who have been in good form at home since introducing Jonas B Andersen to their team, are at full strength.

The winners will meet the winners of the Glasgow/Newcastle quarter final which will be decided on one day at the end of August.
