Sunday evening's scheduled Premier League clash between the Scotwaste Monarchs and Newcastle has been postponed due to a waterlogged track. No restaging date has yet been agreed.

Berwick Bandits are the visitors to the Scotwaste Arena when the Edinburgh Monarchs will be looking to cement their place in the top six of the Premier League this Friday (7.30) after having one of their matches in hand nullified last week in a gating masterclass by Newcastle.

Ipswich qualified for the League Cup final after winning the second leg of the semi-final against the Scotwaste Monarchs 57-37. The aggregate was 99-85.

It's four hundred and eighteen miles from Armadale to Foxhall Stadium in Ipswich but it's a journey that the Scotwaste Monarchs will be undertaking on Thursday as we attempt to defend the six point lead gained in the first leg of the League Cup semi final at Armadale on 5th July.

Berwick are the visitors to Armadale this week, including impressive guest rider Adam Ellis in their side, while the Scotwaste Monarchs also travel to Ipswich and Newcastle over the next few days.
