0:00It's April 1st. You're listening to Edinburgh News today, AI-powered local news. I'm Cory with the story. Burwick banned its face-off against Edinburgh Monarchs in the BSN Series opener at Armadale this Friday night at 7.30pm. Burwick packs three former Monarch riders in their lineup, Victor Palavarara, Jai Etheridge, and Lasseh Fredrickson, plus heavy hitter's Peter Kill Demand, and Nick Morris leading the charge. Monarchs counter with a fresh squad topped by 21-year-old Englishman Dan Thompson, backed by Vets Paco Castagna, Justin Sedgman, and Kaii. Thompson. The young guns include Sweet Jonas and Grant and Aussie's Jordy Loftus and Mitch Clef, giving them real depth. Team manager Alex Harcus is pumped, stressing they just need to handle business at home and snag the win. He knows Burwick stars can rack up double figures, but they've struggled big time in Armadale before. The stakes are high since the top team in the group books, they're spot automatically.

1:01First up is Friday's Clash, then the return leg at Burwick Saturday at 7pm. Expect fireworks as these rivals kick off the series, with Monarchs eyeing that strong launch to build momentum right away.
