It was a good night at Armadale as the Border Roofing Monarchs defeated Somerset Rebels, thereby winning the Premier Shield, and the returning Sam Masters scored 8+2 and took five rides, thus returning the team to their chosen 1 to 7 as we move towards the serious end of the season.

There was a good crowd present to see what was expected to be a hotly-contested match between two top PL sides, but only one of the teams lived up to expectations.

The Border Roofing Monarchs powered to a big win over Somerset at Armadale on Friday night by 55 to 35. Craig Cook scored a 15 point maximum and Paul Starke got 9 for the Rebels.

Sam Masters returns to the Border Roofing Monarchs line up for the first time since breaking his hand in a crash at Leicester on 11th July. That means that both teams will be at full strength for tonight's vital match.

Well you can't be good all the time - and we weren't tonight at Owlerton where we went down 51-39 to the Sheffield Tigers, a fair reflection of the match.

After the results we had had in our previous three away matches, hopes were high at Sheffield, especially as Jason Garrity and Arthur Sissis were ruled out for the Tigers.

With seven more league points likely to be required to finish at the top the Premier League at cut-off time our next chance of points is at Sheffield tonight.
