Stellar Monarchs look to Wednesday’s clash at arch rivals Glasgow Tigers (tapes up 7.30pm) to boost moral now that the club cannot qualify for the end-of-season play-off in the Cab Direct Championship.
Finishing as far up the table as they can is the priority now and also boosting confidence with the BSN Series semi-final the last remaining objective.
Glasgow are two points better off than the Armadale men and have meetings in hand and only four points separate Edinburgh from Redcar Bears in fifth spot.
Both teams will show a changes ahead of the Scottish derby. Anders Rowe, who has signed a 28-day mini contract with Tigers, comes in for Stevie Worrall, while Tom Spencer guests for Jason Garrad.
Justin Sedgmen has still to fully shake off his knee injury and the No 5 race jacket was originally to be worn by Drew Kemp. Kemp is now unable to fulfill the booking so other options are being explored.
Elsewhere in the Monarchs’ line-up, Dayle Wood replaces Max James who is unavailable.
