With our play off opponents not determined until Thursday of this week it has been decided that there will be no meeting at Armadale this Friday.

Club Chairman Alex Harkess said, "It's just not right that we should be going into our biggest meeting of the season discovering our opposition less than twenty four hours earlier so we've abandoned plans to stage our leg of the Championship final on Friday. It's only fair that we have the opportunity to publicise the event correctly and have a proper build up in keeping with the prestige of the event."

Any close result between Redcar and Somerset at the South Tees Motoparc on Thursday would see the Rebels through to the final. A big win for the Bears could take them or Newcastle to the final.

The Scotwaste Monarchs management did look at the possibility of hastily organising an event in aid of our air fence fund but it has not proved possible at such short notice.
