eide67 199 Posted September 28, 2023 Final match of the season at Armadale. Hopefully not the final match ever at Armadale. After being refreshingly open and transparent last year about the future of Edinburgh Speedway, the promotion have somewhat gone into their shell this season. Probably not helped by a difficult season on and off the track. After Kyle Howarth pulling out of the away match, Justin Sedgmen was injured last night so it's R/R again at #1 for the Monarchs. A dead rubber maybe, but the weather is set fair and hopefully the home team can put up a decent performance against the title favourites. STELLAR MONARCHS: Rider replacement for Craig Cook, Lasse Fredriksen, Kye Thomson, Paco Castagna, Josh Pickering (captain), Dayle Wood, Bastian Borke. WESSEX MARINE PIRATES: Richard Lawson, rider replacement for Anders Rowe, Ben Cook, Zach Cook, Steve Worrall (captain), Kyle Newman, Joe Thompson. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surely they will do similar at home, with Kye and Lasse also doing better?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eide67 199 Posted September 29, 2023 A good meeting to finish off 2023, which was closer than the final score made it look and had some fine racing. But more disappointment after the meeting when a very emotional Josh Pickering announced he would not be back with the Monarchs next year. John Campbell announced Armadale is available for next year but there's still a few things to sort out before they can confirm Monarchs will be competing. He also said there were grave doubts over the NDL as a whole never mind the Monarchs Academy's participation. The season has obviously taken its toll on John and Alex, let's hope a new year brings more optimism and we're still able to watch the mighty Monarchs. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
