Andrew Tully and Craig Cook will attempt to improve on the Scotwaste Monarchs' poor recent record in the Premier Pairs when they race at Somerset on Friday evening, in front of what is sure to be a good crowd.

Only a month ago Monarchs beat this Friday's visitors to the Scotwaste Arena at 7.30 by 20 points in the KO Cup second leg, but Sheffield Tigers have shuffled the pack since then and they look a very different prospect this time around in a Premier League match.

The Scotwaste Monarchs gained all three points against Sheffield, which was an excellent achievement considering the way the enforced team changes on both sides seemed to work against them. It took a great deal of determination from the team's main scorers.

Our record in recent years at Redcar is sensational, but we are not currently in the kind of form to send our supporters down in a mood of great optimism.

We scored a 5-1 in heat 1 at the STMP but it didn't take long for the tables to be turned, with the Bears taking all three points in a 54-41 victory.

The Scotwaste Monarchs welcome Sheffield to Armadale this Friday in a Premier League fixture, and before that will travel to Redcar on Thursday.
