eide67 199 Posted August 17, 2023 STELLAR MONARCHS: Craig Cook, Drew Kemp (guest), Kye Thomson, Bastian Borke, Josh Pickering (captain), Dayle Wood, Max Clegg. MONARCH CHEETAHS: Sam Masters, Henry Atkins, Lewis Kerr, Jordan Jenkins, Scott Nicholls (captain), Cameron Heeps, Luke Killeen. The teams drew 45-45 earlier in the season in the cup but can't really read anything in to that as Monarchs only have two riders in their team who were in that meeting (Craig & Kye), which is a good indication of how the season has gone. Looks like another tough one but should be a joy as always to watch Sam and Scott around the Dale. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skidder1 7,637 Posted August 17, 2023 You'll probably have a few Pirate fans cheering for the Monarchs on Friday - but then back to usual for Sunday! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Blobby 2,662 Posted August 17, 2023 No cook tonight for Leicester, so doubt he’ll be there tomorrow. Be straight on the phone to Ritchie Worrall. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dunno, maybe ask the guys that thought it was funny. Suppose everyone has to potential to become mentally ill, sometime in the future if not already.
