The Scotwaste Monarchs will go into their important run of three matches in three days without either Thomas H Jonasson or Andrew Tully in their ranks.

Derek Sneddon will deputise for last week's maximum man Tully at Armadale on Friday with rider replacement operating for Jonasson.

Andrew has been getting treatment at Motherwell Football Club with John Porteous, but in spite of this his progress hasn't been sufficient.

It is a big disappointment to lose two riders in a week when the team had no matches of its own. However that is the risk nowadays when so many riders double up or ride in different countries. At least Ryan Fisher came through Thursday's match at Coventry (where Swindon won and Fish scored 9+1).

Guests will be selected for the visits to Workington and Newcastle and both Andrew and Thomas will target Thursday's visit to redcar for their return.
