The Premier League Four Team Tournament Finals take place at the East of England Showground a week on Sunday and the Scotwaste Monarchs have announced their riding order for the event.

The Scotwaste Monarchs race in the second semi-final in Group B up against Somerset, Leicester and Newcastle. The rules of the competition require us to include our top four averaged riders in the team and then we can select a reserve from the remaining riders.

Our team will line up Derek Sneddon, Theo Pijper, Claus Vissing and Craig Cook with Jozsef Tabaka at reserve. Newcastle have named their top rider Richie Worrall at reserve and we wish we could do the same with Cookie!

Mitchell Davey was at hospital on Thursday afternoon and has had the plaster removed from the wrist he broke almost six weeks ago. He then had a session with the physiotherapist and intends to have a practice at Armadale after the main event at Armadale on Friday evening. He will then decide if there is enough strength in his arm to allow him to ride at Glasgow on Sunday.

Our opponents on Friday evening, the Ipswich Witches, were in action at Redcar on Thursday evening and although they didn’t match their fine winning performance of Workington on Saturday but still picked up a point with a last race 5-1. Cameron Heeps was the top scorer with 13 so he’ll be a man to watch on Friday.

With just four weeks to go to the Scottish Open Championship sponsored by David Harrison Ford we will be issuing details of our sponsorship packages to everyone as they enter the stadium on Friday evening. We’ve revised some of the packages to make them more attractive.
