We have now been able to confirm dates for our League Cup semi-final clash with Sheffield.

The first leg will take place at Armadale a week on Friday, 6th June and the deciding leg will take place at Owlerton Stadium on Thursday 19th June.

Commenting on the dates Scotwaste Monarchs co-promoter Alex Harkess said, "It's always difficult to decide whether to have the first or second leg and sometimes date availability can be the deciding factor. However, on this occasion I think it is advantageous to take the first leg and, hopefully, build up a lead that we can defend in Yorkshire."

Both teams will be without vital riders for the first leg. Max Fricke will be in Germany riding for Australia in the World Under 21 Team Cup semi Final and Sheffield will be without Ty Proctor who has a date with the Wolves that night.

At the present time we are looking for anyone who may be able to add some sponsorship to our leg of the tie. Our hospitality area is available and anyone interested should telephone the stadium on 01501 734404 as soon as possible to register their interest.
