Sheffield Tigers arrive at Armadale this evening determined to end the Scotwaste Monarchs run of consecutive victories at the start of this season.

Having shown a complete mastery of the teams in the northern section of the League Cup, the Scotwaste Monarchs face a new challenge with the Premier League visit this Friday of the Sheffield Tigers who have clawed their way to the top of their own section.

Craig Cook and Derek Sneddon were in action in the British Championship Semi Final at Sheffield on Thursday evening and Craig made it through to the final, finishing in second place on 13 points behind winner Danny King. Derek finished on 4 and failed to qualify.

The gloves will be off this Friday at Armadale when the Glasgow Tigers come calling with virtually their full side for a crucial League Cup encounter straight after their solid win against Monarchs at Ashfield last Sunday.

The British Championship has been regaining some of its prestige over the last few years and has become all the more important this year with the highest placed rider in the Final at Wolverhampton on 16th June being awarded the wild card for the British Grand Prix at Cardiff in July. And we have two riders contesting the first semi final at Sheffield on Thursday.

The Scotwaste Monarchs are still on their record-breaking unbeaten start to the season, but in the time-honoured phrase, “taking one match at a time” as they approach Friday’s opening Premier League fixture, the visit of Sheffield Tigers to Armadale.

Aaron has arrived! He followed up a score of 5 paid 7 at Armadale on Friday with a 4 paid 6 at Glasgow two days later and in-between he led the 'Yankee Doodles' karting team to victory at Theo Pijper's Testimonial event!

We’ve had some remarkable matches at Glasgow over the last few seasons, and here was another to add to the list.
