The BSPA have, today, released the fixtures for the 2015 season and we open our programme away from home.

The Scotwaste Monarchs open their 2015 season with a visit to Ashfield Stadium Glasgow for a Spring Trophy match against Glasgow.

The traditional season opener against the Tigers will be keenly anticipated with everyone wishing to see the new look home of the Tigers as it will have undergone major changes by the time we visit there on Sunday 28th March. The Tigers team has also had a major revamp and how we match up to them will be interesting.

The season will open at Armadale on Good Friday, 3rd April with the return match of the Spring Trophy against the Tigers. After that we launch into the defence of our League Cup with Workington the first visitors in the competition the following week.

Scunthorpe are our first visitors in the League on 1st May and three weeks later Sheffield arrive in the Knock Out Cup.

A new innovation for the Premier League fixture list this year is that dates have been programmed for all competitions right up to the final. It is hoped that this will allow competitions to proceed to an early conclusion without the problems that have plagued the last year or two.

Online tickets will go on sale at the beginning of March although season tickets remain on sale at the moment covering entry to all confirmed fixtures on the list at the moment.
