Although it was the Edinburgh Scotwaste Monarchs who won both legs of the Air Fence Challenge at the weekend, there were no losers!

Our 2014 Scotwaste Monarchs rode very well at Ashfield to complete a second victory in three days over our old rivals, and retain the Spring Trophy (awarded for the Air Fence Challenge).

The Scotwaste Monarchs completed a very satisfactory opening weekend by winning at Glasgow today in a hard fought and entertaining match. We get the Spring Trophy again.

The Scotwaste Monarchs are on the road for the first time this season with the short trip to Ashfield.

The Scotwaste Monarchs turned in a more than satisfactory opening night performance to win the Air Fence Challenge 1st leg against Glasgow by 52-38, having been a mere two points up at heat 11.

The Scottish season opener was tight for much of the evening, and Tigers should really have taken the lead, but in the end Monarchs asserted themselves for a solid 14-point victory.

We are now just hours away from tonight's speedway season opener in Scotland when the Glasgow Tigers visit Armadale to face the Scotwaste Monarchs in the Air Fence Challenge.

It's time to look out the old jacket, scarf, hat and programme board – the new speedway season is here! And two very changed sides will line up at the tapes on Friday to get the 2014 speedway season off the ground at Armadale in the first leg of a challenge match to raise funds for the newly installed air fence.

Allowing for Geoff Craythorne's assault on Ben Nevis later this year, we our now reaching the end of, what looks like, a successful fund raising campaign to pay for the installation of our air fence.
