Stellar Monarchs have been rocked by the news that Kye Thomson will miss Friday’s home match against Poole Pirates in the Cab Direct Championship (tapes-up 7.30pm).
Thomson rode to an immaculate full maximum last Friday against Berwick Bandits but developed food poisoning-like symptoms by the start of the week which deteriorated. He was admitted to hospital early on Wednesday morning.
The rider remains in hospital undergoing tests and Danyon Hume comes in at No 4.
Elsewhere, matches at Redcar v Glasgow and Scunthorpe v Berwick are postponed because of the weather.
