The Border Roofing Monarchs undertake their longest trek of the season, almost five hundred miles from home, in search of Premier League points at Plymouth.

An early departure was required to ensure arrival on time at the St Boniface Arena. The riders have encountered significant delays on the M6 and M5 and it's not a good day for travelling with it being a very warm and sunny day.

Not travelling too far is Brady Kurtz who will guest at number 1 for the Border Roofing Monarchs. He's been a busy young man recently guesting for various teams as well as riding for his own team, Somerset, generally with a great degree of success.

Craig Cook and Justin Sedgmen could be called track experts but such a small circuit will be a new experience for Erik Riss.

The Devils have a very solid side but lack and out and out number 1. Our old friend Ryan Fisher lines up at number one for them. Last week their top scorer was reserve Sam Simota who missed out on a six ride paid maximum by finishing last in heat 15.

Any league points the Border Roofing Monarchs gain this evening will increase their five point lead at the top of the table over second placed Glasgow.
