Rene Bach <\/p>\n
The 23-year-old from Denmark scored 12 points in the second leg on Sunday to help his side beat Newcastle Diamonds and clinch the shield 77-73 on aggregate. <\/p>\n
Comets lost the second leg at Newcastles Brough Park 46-44 but won the shield on aggregate following a 33-27 win in the first leg at Derwent Park on Saturday. <\/p>\n
Bach said he felt he owed his side a strong performance in the second leg after scoring three points from his two rides in the first leg, which was abandoned after heat 10 following a heavy downpour. <\/p>\n
He said: I felt I let the team down on Saturday night but I got it working again on Sunday. <\/p>\n
It was great to win the shield and a good way to start the season. Everyone had a heat win over the two legs, which was great. <\/p>\n
Hopefully its a good sign for the season. <\/p>\n
