Workington Comets have announced that their main team sponsor, Thomas Armstrong, will continue their association with the team this season.

It is the eighth successive season the west Cumbrian construction firm will sponsor the team and they will be joined by both key partners from last season, J Edgar & Son, who were official team sponsors in 2003, and Ast signs.

All three businesses will once again have their names incorporated within the Comets race jacket for 2014.

Comets owner Laura Morgan said: The backing of such high-profile and well-respected Cumbrian- based businesses is invaluable to us.

We are very appreciative of their continued support of the Comets as we embark on what we hope will be a very successful season for all parties.

As a new promotional team last season we were very pleased with the support we got from all of our sponsors but especially Thomas Armstrong, J Edgar & Son and Ast signs, whose assistance throughout the season was instrumental in what was a successful first season for us as promoters.

We would like to think that we played a part in promoting their businesses locally and, through our television appearance, to a wider audience; and hopefully we can continue to do that in 2014.
