Comets won the second leg of their play-off meetings with Berwick Bandits despite Edinburgh Monarchs already progressing to the final, which they won on the same night.

But they did claim the Border Trophy, awarded to the aggregate winner between the Comets and Bandits. The trophy had first been contested between the sides more than 40 years ago and Jackson admitted it was a nice way to end what has been an emotionally draining season.

He said: It was a great way to finish.

Berwick werent the strongest but the lads got the job done.

It was nice to win the trophy. Of course its not the top prize but youd rather that than nothing.

Jackson admitted he was desperate to see a Comets title someday and was disappointed with the way the season turned out after such a positive build-up.

He said: I want to see Workington win the title before I die but I dont want to live forever.
