We are very pleased to bring you news of a prestigious award won by our photographer, Ron MacNeill. At the Scottish Press Photography Awards ceremony held in Glasgow last night Ron won the best Sports Action award for a photograph taken at Armadale.

The postponement of the Championship Riders Individual at Glasgow has created an unfortunate clash of events for our top two, Ricky Wells and Sam Masters, with the Glasgow restaging taking place on 14th October, the night of our End of Season Dinner and Dance. The good news for those attending Glasgow is that our two will be there and the good news for supporters attending the dance, our top two will be there also.

We were, perhaps, surprised to see both of our riders, Max Clegg and Mitchell Davey, missing from the National League Riders Championship on Sunday. Now we can explain why.

The Parsons Peebles Monarchs failed narrowly to overturn Ipswich’s 10-point lead from the first leg of the Championship Playoff semi-final, beating Ipswich 48-41 on the night but going down 88-91 on aggregate. The Witches will meet either Sheffield or Glasgow in the Final and we wish them well.

Rory Schlein won heat 15 to knock the Parsons Peebles Monarchs out of the Play-offs. The Monarchs won 48 to 41 on the night but lost 91 to 88 on aggregate. Well done to the Witches.

It all comes down to this! It’s the second leg of the SGB Championship playoff semi final against the Ipswich Witches at Armadale as we look to overturn a 10 point deficit from the first leg on Thursday night and clinch a final berth.

It was a case of so near yet so far for the Parsons Peebles Monarchs this evening as they performed admirably and did well going down 50-40 to the Ipswich Witches in the 1st leg of the SGB Championship Play Off Semi Final.

The Parsons Peebles Monarchs are on their travels once again as we make the long trip south to Ipswich in our most important match of the season so far in the SGB Championship Play Off Semi Final.
