Monarchs Academy are well clear in the race to win the National Development League, but they need to win their final home matches of the season on Friday at Armadale when they take on their biggest rivals Leicester Lion Cubs as well as the Buxton Bulls in a double header which has the earlier than usual start time of 7pm to ensure the 30 heats are completed.

The Monarchs Academy maintained their perfect record in this year's National Development League by beating Oxford Chargers 51-39 at Armadale.

For the next two Fridays, the focus at Armadale belongs to Edinburgh Monarchs Academy - and with the team unbeaten and sitting top of the National Development League, there is a title charge to get behind.
