Since returning to the Staggs Bar Monarchs line up at Leicester on 17th July Sam Masters has had such a positive influence on the team not least because of his immense scoring in five matches to date.

The Staggs Bar Monarchs performed well on a difficult track tonight to win the curtailed match against Eastbourne by 51-27, abandoned after heat 13 with the track very wet after the arrival of the rain which we had seen coming over during the evening.

The morning rain cleared Armadale just after 11 this morning and we've been busy getting the track ready for tonight's meeting against Eastbourne, hindered only by some drizzle at one o'clock.

The Eastbourne Eagles are on their northern tour this week and this starts at Armadale on Friday with a Championship match against the Staggs Bar Monarchs.

If you stay in Scotland it's more than 400 miles to the Oak Tree Arena in Somerset and that's the journey William Lawson made, and his teammates slightly or greatly less, for the rain off on Wednesday evening.

The Staggs Bar Monarchs make another long trek south as they head for the Oaktree Arena to take on the Somerset Rebels in an absolute must win match.

Friday 30th August sees a new for 2019 special event at Armadale Stadium - Emergency Services Night.

An utterly dominant 18 point maximum by number 1 Sam Masters was all in vain for the Staggs Bar Monarchs as they went down 49-41 to the Sheffield Tigers at Owlerton meaning another pointless day on their travels.

Another Sunday another trip south for the Staggs Bar Monarchs as we head to Yorkshire to take on the Sheffield Tigers in SGB Championship action.
