Ryan Fisher became the second Monarch to lift the Ashfield Classic when he raced home in the final heat in Glasgow today.

Saturday's visit to Workington has been rained off as the season continues to stall.

Not surprisingly, Friday's home match against Stoke has become the victim of the miserable weather.

Victories at Armadale for the Stoke Potters are as rare as hens' teeth. They are the next visitors hopefully to a sunny Armadale rather than the rain swept bayou of West Lothian confounding the weather gods. Can they end their long losing run against a Monarchs side a lot more vulnerable than they were a few weeks ago?

The Scotwaste Monarchs have brought their complement of riders back up to 7 by signing the 20-year old German Champion Kevin W?lbert.

27 supporters on the Monarchs' Chatzone predicted between 22 and 35 points for Monarchs at King's Lynn, so our total of 38 deserves a round of applause.

The Scotwaste Monarchs did much better than most had predicted on what is the toughest assignment of the season, scoring 38 points, but after starting well Ryan Fisher crashed spectacularly in heat 11 and had to pull out of the match.

Having encountered something of a difficult weekend, things don?t get any easier for the Scotwaste Monarchs this Wednesday!
