The Scotwaste Monarchs swapped 5-1s early on with the Leicester Lions, and were still trailing at heat 7, but with Wolbert and Tully unbeatable and a fine show from Kalle Katajisto, they came through to seal all three points at the end.

This match was much closer than the final score suggests, with the home team very much indebted to their top two.

There's a real international flavour to the Leicester Lions who pay their second Premier League visit of the season to Armadale on Friday (7.30 start) with only one British rider in their much changed septet in contrast to four in Edinburgh's line-up.

The Scotwaste Monarchs race first-season team Leicester Lions at Armadale on Friday night, with the return the next day, and that means we will see our league winning Swede of 2003 Magnus Karlsson return in Lions' colours.

The crowd for last week's dramatic match against Somerset was up on the previous two disappointing attendances ? but the club could do with more as we approach the end of the season with just three home Fridays remaining.

Kevin Wolbert scored 7 points in his first PLRC as Somerset's Sam Masters belied recent form to top the qualifiers and then win the final race.
