Hands up who thought we would beat the Somerset Rebels by twenty points to bag three valuable points and secure our first piece of silverware of the season!

Sam Masters and Justin Sedgmen have received the news that they have been picked to be the reserves at the Australian Grand Prix that takes place in Melbourne on 24th October.

We undertook our Speedway Riders Benevolent Fund collection on Friday evening at Armadale with riders from both teams, and even Ed the Monarch, taking part and the huge sum of £1880.34 was uplifted. That is our highest ever collection for the Ben Fund, by some distance.

It was a good night at Armadale as the Border Roofing Monarchs defeated Somerset Rebels, thereby winning the Premier Shield, and the returning Sam Masters scored 8+2 and took five rides, thus returning the team to their chosen 1 to 7 as we move towards the serious end of the season.

There was a good crowd present to see what was expected to be a hotly-contested match between two top PL sides, but only one of the teams lived up to expectations.

The Border Roofing Monarchs powered to a big win over Somerset at Armadale on Friday night by 55 to 35. Craig Cook scored a 15 point maximum and Paul Starke got 9 for the Rebels.

Sam Masters returns to the Border Roofing Monarchs line up for the first time since breaking his hand in a crash at Leicester on 11th July. That means that both teams will be at full strength for tonight's vital match.
