There isn’t a great deal of good news for the Scotwaste Monarchs on the injury front after the double pileup at Ashfield yesterday.

Losing the match at Glasgow wasn’t a great surprise, given our away form, but we would have liked to leave Ashfield on Sunday with seven fit riders.

On another depressing day at Ashfield, the Scotwaste Monarchs lost the match 52-41, but more importantly they lost two riders in a disastrous heat 8.

The Scotwaste Monarchs romped to a 61-33 win over Glasgow with both Andrew Tully and Craig Cook unbeaten, and good scores for all of the side.

The Scowaste Monarchs didn’t really have to break sweat to pick up all three points against Glasgow.

After confounding their critics and hitting the heights in a cracker of a match last week, the Scotwaste Monarchs will go into the latest Scottish derby match against Glasgow Tigers at Armadale on Friday (7.30) with a lot more confidence.

The two Scottish sides have made stuttering starts to the season but the good news is that both showed dramatic improvement last weekend just in time for the Monarchs v Tigers League Cup matches this weekend. Both sides actually won by the same score.

The Scotwaste Monarchs performed superbly in a thrilling meeting tonight to beat section leaders Workington by 54-39 in one of the most entertaining meetings seen for a long time.

With five wins in their first six starts of the new season, the next scheduled visitors to Armadale this Friday (7.30), the Workington Comets, are riding on the crest of an early season wave.
