Rye House rode well tonight and comfortably beat the Scotwaste Monarchs 58-35 in what was the final league match for both teams.

In a strange see-sawing match, the Scotwaste Monarchs almost blew an early 12 point lead before reasserting themselves to beat Leicester quite comfortably in the end by 55-38.

Sixth placed Edinburgh Monarchs finish their regular home league programme by pitting their multinational line-up against fourth placed Leicester Lions' Scandinavian select in a rehearsal for the all important Premier League Play-Offs at the Scotwaste Arena, Armadale this Friday (7.30).

The Scotwaste Monarchs face Leicester Lions on Friday at Armadale, and with three matches this week the Lions could still finish top of the table prior to the Playoffs.

We started well and led after 4 heats, we finished strongly with Theo and Andrew on song, but the bit in the middle was a bit of a problem as we went down 53-39 to Newcastle, who now top the Premier League.

Saturday night’s results have ensured that the Scotwaste Monarchs will finish in the top six of the Premier League and thus take part in the Playoffs which will this season decide the destination of the title.

It was a triumph for stamina as well as skill as the Scotwaste Monarchs took six points from two matches, scoring 57 against both Glasgow and Rye House in matches which were tight in the early stages.
