Speedway: Demise of Monarchs far from truth

Monarchs shot down by Comets as Derwent Park jinx hits again

CRAIG COOK today praised Edinburgh Monarchs for an “awesome” display at Berwick Bandits on Saturday, despite losing a last heat decider which saw them pipped 46-44 by the home team, who came within a whisker of losing their unbeaten League Cup qualifying record at Shielfield Park.

Speedway: Bandits given a royal roasting

Speedway: Below-par Monarchs must find cure for travel sickness

Speedway: Cook feels Monarchs have found form in time for Tigers clash
