Our 1999 team started the season with six Scots and did very well. We had a season-long rivalry with Newport, both teams enjoying success against the other, and when we clashed in the KO Cup the Wasps had the better of the first leg in Wales which they won by 16 points. So Monarchs faced an uphill task when the Wasps came to Armadale on 16th July with top men Craig Watson and Frank Smart supplemented by strong guest Brent Werner.
