News Archive - October 2008

Our magnificent 2008 team maintained their high standards to the last, tearing the Tigers to shreds to add the Scottish Cup to our achievements this season.

"The last match of the season on the last day of the season sees another visit to Armadale from the Glasgow Tigers this time in Scottish Cup action. Well I say Glasgow Tigers but in reality it?s two Glasgow riders and four guests who will be wearing the red and white stripes.

Monarchs turned on the style one last time for 2008 as they defeated Glasgow 64-26 to resoundingly win the Scottish Cup for the 21st time.

We are pleased to announce that former Monarchs' skipper Theo Pijper has answered the call to fill the missing place in Monarchs' side for their final home match, replacing Derek Sneddon.

The Scotwaste Monarchs have arrived at the end of the most successful season in their sixty-year history, and stage their final home meeting this Friday ? the second leg of the Scottish Cup against Glasgow.

The Scotwaste Monarchs did themselves proud in a thrilling match at Wolverhampton before going down 53-39 in the second leg of the Elite League playoff.

We have not made the Elite League (did we think we would?) but we did leave a good impression behind us after an excellent match at Monmore Green.
