"It seems that we are to enjoy our best weather of the season at Armadale on Friday night and it's likely that Redcar will provide hot opposition go the Scotwaste Monarchs.

Theo Pijper will miss the match having made every effort to ride for the Monarchs. The timings were just too tight to make it happen. His World Long Track meeting is in Finland at a track two hours from Helsinki Airport and the proposed flight would have got him there after the official sign on time and within two hours of the start of the meeting but his French. federation would not give him the go ahead. Theo has another long track meeting next week in Norway but there are no travel problems involved in that one.

Mitchell Davey miss Friday's match due to his broken wrist but he has not yet given up hope of resuming at Somerset on Tuesday. He is undergoing extensive treatment and he'll have a better idea of his prospects later on Friday.

In addition to the Premier League match on Friday there will also be a qualifier of the Northern Junior League Riders' Championship. This six race event will be contested by eight juniors from the north.
