Edinburgh Monarchs put Plymouth Gladiators to the sword and take maximum points
The Edinburgh Monarchs' hot streak continued at Armadale last night after a 52-38 victory over the Plymouth Gladiators.
The hosts also claimed the all-important bonus point following their success on the Devon coast last month.
The Capital outfit remain third in the Cab Direct Championship but will finish the weekend joint top if they pick up maximum points in their away clash with the Workington Comets this evening.
The Gladiators, backed by a loyal group of supporters who had made the 500-mile trip to West Lothian, proved somewhat disappointing opposition, only Scott Nicholls and Danny King offering any kind of resistance to the powerful hosts, who were without skipper Paco Castagna who is in Italy preparing for the Grand Prix Challenge.
His absence was well covered by his team-mates, with reserve duo Jordy Loftus and Mitch Cluff contributing paid 20 between them.
Teenager Loftus said: "I'm very happy with the team's performance. We all chipped in and scored points. I'm happy with myself as I broke into double figures and that's been a goal as I've scored quite a few points in the last couple of meetings.
"I was in heats two, four, six, and eight, so it was a bit hectic, but I got the job done so I'm very pleased. We'll take the confidence into tonight at Workington so we're ready to hit them hard."
Kye Thomson, who scored 12, added: "We started off really and well and everything went to plan. We showed them what we're made of, we we weren't stressing in heats 13 or 15, so it was a good night."
