Last night during the greyhound racing event at Armadale, the Monarchs Fans trust and friends unveiled their two new banners – one huge one and one gigantic one – and fans should see one of these at every home and some away matches from now on.

The Trust invited supporters to ‘go to the dogs’ to help with the unveiling, and a party of well over 50 answered the call, including John Campbell and Alex Harkess plus team captain Sam Masters.

Unfortunately it wasn’t a great night for the dog folk because the fog came down and caused the last few races to be called off – the dogs apparently could not see where they were going! (We assume that’s what they told their owners anyway).

The called-off races included two named after the Trust after which Trust members were going to be asked to present the trophies.

But we still saw the banners, and we’ll be seeing lots more of them.
