The Border Roofing Monarchs race their fourth match in five days at Somerset on Tuesday night in a match which will be televised on Sky Sports 4.

It's always a difficult match for us at the Oak Tree Arena and it would certainly be better if we had Sam Masters in our line up rather than rider replacement. However, like every match we will be attempting to win.

Erik Riss has been all the way to Scotland and back since Sunday and Rob Branford and Craig Cook rode on Monday night. The rest had a quiet day off.

The Rebels will line up at. Full strength in what is a must win match if they are to have any chance of a top two finish. They have been dominant at home, as usual, but for that extraordinary home defeat against Plymouth.

The meeting, and the return at Armadale, will have the added incentive of the aggregate winners picking up the Premier Shield, a competition usually contested by the previous season's league and cup winners.
