Lord Rocket, Monarchs fan, will be running in the Edinburgh 10k run on 2nd May and is looking for support to back the Scotwaste Monarchs' efforts this season.

Geoff Craythorne (Lord Rocket himself) is doing the run to help boost the club's finances. He says ?We've got a good team this year, and of course we are looking to move on to a new venue in time for next season.

?We all know how expensive it is going to be so I want to do my bit for the club. I believe we can raise quite a bit.?

He added ?Running is the only thing I've ever been any good at, but I never kept it going. Now I am taking it up again to help the Monarchs.?

Lord Rocket is one of the best known figures at Armadale, famous for his socialising abilities, and he has friends throughout speedway, home and abroad. He will be tapping in to these contacts to find sponsorship for his run.

Donations can be made online at www.rocketrun.com, and sponsor forms will be available starting at this week's Video Night (Friday, Thomas Morton Hall). Up to date news will also be available on this rocketrun website.
