Shame, thought he'd do alright at NL but never really seemed to get back into it on his return? I'm guessing Kyle Bickley, Jacob Hook and Josh Embleton are nailed on... After that I just have no idea... Maybe one of Berwick's tail from last season? Douglas, Watson or Rathbone? Surely Berwick aren't using all 3... Kyran Lyden back? But it's the third heatleader and number 4 that's missing in my mind really, someone from the south perhaps? Sam Hagon still hasn't been signed, but that's a hell of a long journey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’d guess the few named will be in the side with one or two surprises. Edited January 15, 2023 by Mr Blobby Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xvcjk 79 Posted January 17, 2023 Armadale Devils becomes the Edinburgh Monarchs Speedway Academy. A good change from the club, this gives a proper pathway for younger riders to develop through the academy and also allows a fresh start to the NDL as recent seasons haven’t been great. Looking forward to 2023, it should be a very competitive league. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Blobby 2,663 Posted January 17, 2023 Really like the new way the club have gone showing great initiative once again. Gives a good clear pathway for the younger generation from the academy to the NJL to the NDL and then onto the monarchs. shame about josh not being able to commit due to work hopefully see him back sooner rather than later. https://www.edinburghmonarchs.co.uk/news-centre/article/2023-01-17/edinburgh-monarchs-academy-enter-national-development-league?fbclid=IwAR2qgEW8UbmfCSytI488SulkxOIM_c6_1tmOs6Vw4kJJI0-H4QiFqVJBmtE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Blobby 2,663 Posted January 17, 2023 Shame about josh as work commitments meaning he’s having to move away from the side for the time being with them being a Friday night. Hopefully see him return in the near future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We hope they will dream of reaching the Monarchs Academy team and then graduating into a fully-fledged Monarch thereafter." Are they suggesting young riders weren't fully focussed on their development because the team was called Armadale instead of Edinburgh? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
