PREVIEW: EDINBURGH v NEWCASTLE (KOC)

EDINBURGH will look to complete the job of KO Cup progression when they host Newcastle at Armadale tonight (Friday).

The Monarchs lead 49-41 from the first leg although the visitors do include former Edinburgh riders Matthew Wethers and Max Clegg in their side. The Diamonds operate rider-replacement at No.1 for the injured Bradley Wilson-Dean.

Monarchs boss Alex Harkess said: “This Friday we have to keep improving and making things better.

“Hopefully any mechanical gremlins that anyone has had will be sorted out. Newcastle certainly have a few riders that have been round our place.”

EDINBURGH: Sam Masters, Lasse Fredriksen, Paco Castagna, Kye Thomson, Josh Pickering, Jacob Hook, James Sarjeant.

NEWCASTLE: Bradley Wilson-Dean R/R, Matthew Wethers, James Wright, Max Clegg, Paul Starke, Lee Complin, George Congreve.
