Edinburgh Monarchs’ Championship League clash with Berwick Bandits at Armadale Stadium was abandoned tonight after just three races because of heavy rain. The Bandits were leading at the time 10-8 after taking a 5-1 in the second race with a 5-1 from former Monarchs skipper Theo Pijper and Nikolaj Busk Jacobsen. But the Monarchs had hit back in the third race with a 4-2 from Richie Worrall and Josh Pickering. It was at this point that match referee Margaret Vardy was asked to come down to the pits to discuss the worsening track conditions with team captains Erik Riss ad Kevin Doolan. And within minutes she called a halt to proceedings. Monarchs team manager Alex Harkess said: “There was no decision to be made it was that simple. The rain that was falling would have taken an age to clear. It was absolutely the correct ruling.”
