The Scotwaste Monarchs complete their 2011 Premier League programme on the final weekend of October, with matches at Plymouth, Newport and Workington.

It makes for a lengthy tour after a season in which most matches have been one-offs, so it is a chance for some travelling supporters to enjoy themselves. Also of course Friday's match will be the first appearance for Monarchs as a team at the current Plymouth venue.

Matthew Wethers intends to lead the team though early in the week he felt he hadn't completely recovered from last Friday's hard knock. He will make his final decision on Friday.

Tim Webster will be riding in the no. 6 position for all three matches.

Monarchs (currently 10th)need a single point to pass Redcar in the table, and could in theory pass Rye House and Scunthorpe as well if they were extremely successful! They also need points to stay ahead of Berwick who race at home on Friday against Newport.
