Castagna gets Monarchs nod in place of injured Sedgmen

Edinburgh Stellar Monarchs and Glasgow Allied Vehicles Tigers have both been forced into changes for this Friday’s Championship Pairs at Oxford.

The Monarchs will still be without the injured Justin Sedgmen for the Cowley showpiece event, and his place is to be taken by club captain Paco Castagna (pictured against Poole this summer). Josh Pickering is their other rider.

Meanwhile Tigers, who are the holders of the trophy following success for Chris Harris and Benjamin Basso last year, will include new signing Anders Rowe alongside Harris.

Steve Worrall is now out of their team declaration as he recovers from illness.
