Edinburgh Monarchs have confirmed that the award-winning Staggs Bar at Musselburgh will be their major sponsor for a second year running.

This was announced at the club’s Away Highlights video show by Staggs boss Nigel Finlay.

He said “I’m more than happy. Last year was pretty monumental and hopefully this year will be more of the same.”

Nigel was positive in his assessment of the team and said: “There is no reason why we can’t be successful.

“I don’t know much about Cameron Heeps but I’ve heard he is likely to be good, and Luke Ruddick is unknown to me as well, but I certainly believe we can make the top four.”

Staggs Bar is in the top four contenders for UK Pub of the Year and Nigel said. “We made the top four which is more than Edinburgh did, but, like the Monarchs, we won the Scottish Championship so there is a wee connection there.

“Hopefully in this coming season we can go one better and the Monarchs can as well. I’m looking forward to the start of the season.”
