The Border Roofing Monarchs make the long trip to Ipswich on Thursday evening to defend a 22 point lead against the Witches and make the Final but they'll have to do it without Craig Cook.

Cookie has been laid up in bed since Tuesday with a virus and although he was a little better on Wednesday his attempts at eating were not successful. With no improvement by Thursday Craig pulled out. With no food for almost forty eight hours he was just too weak to contemplate racing.

Taking his place will be in form former Monarch Ryan Fisher.

Our recent visits to Foxhall have all been fairly successful but with the Witches scoring well at home recently all our riders will need to perform to their best to ensure we book a final place against Glasgow.
