Mark Riss has declared himself fit and will return to the Parsons Peebles Monarchs team for our home match against Ipswich on Friday, subject to BSPA approval.

Mark returned to Armadale on Friday and after checking out his bikes over the weekend declared on Monday that was ready to return to action.

He has been practising at home in Germany over the last week and confirmed that all was fine with his hand which he injured in a crash at Armadale on 16th June, coincidentally in a match against Ipswich.

Injury replacement, Theo Pijper, makes way for Mark's return and co-promoter John Campbell paid tribute to the Dutchman, "Theo immediately answered our call for help and did particularly well in our home meetings but starting your season two months after everyone else is difficult for anyone, especially when we didn't have a consistent run of fixtures. He won us a match or two and I'm very grateful for his help."
