Thomas H Jonasson has been ordered to ride in the Swedish Playoffs for Valsarna and will miss Friday’s match against Glasgow.

It had been hoped that the Valsarna team would be able to draw their side from the rest of their squad, and Thomas had actually requested to travel to Edinburgh early to get more rest than he usually does, but unfortunately he has not been given the chance.

Rider replacement applies for riders called up for the Swedish Playoffs so that will be utilised by Monarchs on Friday, allowing all the other team members a ride.
