Edinburgh secured a great victory away to Premier League title favourites Hull Vikings.
Monarchs led after a 5-1 from Will Beveridge and Christian Henry in heat 2 and held this all the way until Hull edged ahead with a 5-1 in heat 13. But having missed out so many times at Hull, Monarchs were not be denied and came back to win by 47 points to 43 with heat advantages in the last two races. Will Beveridge came in as a reserve replacement in heat 14 and won the heat. With Ross Brady taking second place Monarchs went into a two-point lead. Peter Carr then won heat 15 ahead of Garry Stead to ensure the match win with Robert Eriksson third ahead of Thorp.
Peter Carr was top scorer with 14 points from 5 rides after deciding to ride despite his injury on Sunday. Support came across the board especially from Will Beveridge with 7 plus 1 from five rides, Robert Eriksson with 9 from five and Ross Brady with 6 plus 3 from four rides.
Garry Stead was the top home rider with 15 paid 16 from six rides including a tactical substitution. There was support from Paul Thorp with 11 from five and Lee Dicken with 6 paid 8 from four rides.
That is the first time that Hull have been beaten in a competitive match this season at New Craven Park.
Current Premier League results and tables are as follows:
Monarchs now move above Sheffield into fifth place. Had a couple of earlier results gone Monarchs way they would have been well in contention for the Premier League title.
The fuel crisis stopped Monarchs trip to Sheffield. The match was cancelled because it was impossible to guarantee paramedic cover.
