This comes too soon for Edinburgh's new signing Michael Palm Toft's inclusion so it's R/R for Oscar Polis again. This worked fine against Workington last week but the Tigers will provide much tougher opposition. They are without the injured Dan Thompson and bring in Drew Kemp as a guest Could be a close one.

Teams from Monarchs' website:

Friday 30th May: Edinburgh Monarchs v Glasgow Tigers (Championship KO Cup), Armadale, 7:30pm

STELLAR MONARCHS: Justin Sedgmen, rider replacement for Oskar Polis, Jonatan Grahn, Kye Thomson, Paco Castagna (Capt.), Victor Palovaara, Mark Parker.

ALLIED VEHICLES TIGERS: Chris Harris (Capt.), Ashton Boughen, Drew Kemp, Leon Flint, Kyle Howarth, Freddy Hodder, Max Perry.

The second leg with the same lineups is at Ashfield on Saturday at 3pm.

Difficult to predict.Tigers will certainly miss Dan.Boughen needs a good couple of meetings IMo.

I wonder if Parker will hurt his back getting the bike out his van and another 2 pointer might coincidentally be on hand!

Fully expect a monarch's win as long as can score 40 gives us a chance. Victor obviously still at reserve will have a huge impact 

Both Tigers reserves are stronger than  our number 7. Need a little bit more from Paco.

Has to have 3 rides so couldn’t replace him.Assuming-it has to be programme rides for 1-5 .

Ah okay, thanks. I thought I heard commentators mention paramedics being with him. Child needing fed interrupting my viewing 😂.

With a bit of luck 😂. I'm surprised they didn't pull the plug before now. Consistently forecasted for heavy rain here tomorrow.

Rely on the dodgy weather forecast is a new one.Boughen is proving difficult one to solve.Will they stick with him is the question.Needing to get Thompson back before 2nd leg though.

Rain is never a dodgy forecast in Glasgow. Anything but is!

Feel Glasgow will be the happier of the two sides. Monarchs had a chance to put one foot in the next round, but dropped too many points to Tigers reserves especially.

Also don't understand how Castagna can do so well in a harder league, but not replicate that in the Champ?

He's not the only one. Maybe they just use better equipment there as harder to keep their spot.
