TIGERS OUR NEXT CHALLENGE

PREVIEW Thursday 20th August 2015, 4:00pm

  Edinburgh Monarchs

With seven more league points likely to be required to finish at the top the Premier League at cut-off time our next chance of points is at Sheffield tonight.

For the Border Roofing Monarchs Sam Masters is still missing although his return to the team is getting closer every day now and rider replacement will again cover for his absence. The Border Roofing Monarchs will line up in their usual order with rider replacement at 5.

Sheffield have suffered a late injury blow with Jason Garrity being forced to pull out of the match. He looked very uncomfortable in the Sky TV match on Wednesday evening riding for Coventry and he has been forced to pay a visit to hospital on Thursday. Rider replacement will cover for him with all riders eligible for an extra ride.

Despite the loss of Garrity this will still be a tough match for the Border Roofing Monarchs and it could come down to how the reserves perform. Sheffield have a potential match winner in Josh Bates but have lost Arthur Sissis after a crash at Berwick on Saturday. His place is taken by National League sensation but unproven at Premier League level, Zach Wajtknecht. Can Rob Branford and Max Clegg make an impression.
