In a season that every match seems more important than the previous one we can look forward to another tough fixture at Armadale on Friday when Ipswich Witches are the visitors in the first leg of the League Cup semi-final.

The Scotwaste Monarchs beat Leicester tonight 52-37 and landed three league points, moving up to fourth place with matches in hand over the teams above them – but in reality it was nothing like as easy as the score suggests!

Leicester return to Armadale on Friday as league leaders, looking to add to recent away wins at Glasgow, Plymouth and Sheffield, but while the Monarchs are seven points behind in fifth place, they also have five matches in hand.

We'll have a few more Lions to join Ed at Armadale on Friday night but Leicester will not arrive as league leaders as the result at Redcar on Thursday night means that Workington are now top of the league with a 49 to 41 win at Redcar. The Comets are now the only team in the league to have won all their home matches.

Leicester Lions make their second visit of the season to Armadale this Friday, this time as league leaders looking for points.

The good news for the Scotwaste Monarchs this week is that Jozsef Tabaka has declared himself fit and will be back in the team for the match against Leicester at Armadale on Friday.

Over the last three months or so we have listened to you, put things right and generally shaped your Friday evening into a wonderful Speedway experience but sadly there is one thing we cannot do. AND THAT IS STOP THOSE PESKY MIDGIES!!!
