Monarchs' win stands as Scorpions protest is kicked out
Having examined the facts, the SCB found that: “The British Speedway Promoters Association (BSPA ) instructed Edinburgh that, as the Buxton v Belle Vue National League meeting match was on the original fixture list and the Scunthorpe v Edinburgh match was a rearranged fixture having been postponed on June 12, then Dan Bewley had to race at Buxton and Edinburgh were entitled to a guest replacement.
“Mitchell Davey was not being used as a National League guest and therefore fitted the laid down criteria.

The SCB added that under agreed timescales, a protest must be lodged 24 hours before the meeting start time and, as the referee ruled that Mitchell Davey was eligible to ride, this is a statement of fact and no protest is permitted and therefore the result of the meeting stands.
