  Edinburgh Monarchs

Birmingham have had unprecedented bad luck with injuries, but things are improving for them and they will bring top men Jason Lyons, Kyle Legault and Craig Watson to Armadale on Friday.

The Scotwaste Monarchs track Carl Stonehewer as guest for the injured William Lawson, and Thomas H Jonasson will ride at reserve with Derek Sneddon moving up into the top five.

The photo shows the Brummies sporting some of their wounds. They have lost Phil Morris and Adam Roynon for the season, and Kyle Legault has had a lengthy spell on the sidelines.

And that's only the main ones! It's been so bad for the Brummies that they recently called in psychic and spiritualist Philip Solomon to investigate the curse the team seemed to be suffering from!

Teams for Friday are:

SCOTWASTE MONARCHS: Carl Stonehewer, Derek Sneddon (captain), Andrew Tully, Ryan Fisher, Matthew Wethers, Thomas H Jonasson, Aaron Summers.

BIRMINGHAM BRUMMIES: Kyle Legault, Jack Hargreaves, Jason Lyons (captain), Lee Smart, Craig Watson, Jack Roberts, James Birkinshaw.
