The Essex-based rider was part of the Comets line-up that cruised to victory over Glasgow Tigers in the League Cup at Derwent Park on Saturday. <\/p>\n
Mills, who rides at reserve, scored an impressive eight points as Workington thrashed Glasgow 60-31. The other top scorers were captain Rene Bach with 17 points and number one Josh Grajczonek with 13. <\/p>\n
Mills, who celebrated his 31st birthday on Saturday, said: We are tipped as the favourites for the league and scores like Saturdays and winning the Ian Thomas Shield are important. <\/p>\n
Its a long season but everyone is really fired up. The expectations are there. Now we have to rise to it and hopefully we can pull it off. <\/p>\n
Everyone can add to there average this season. There is no reason why we cant get some more silverware. All the way through the team there is competition. I dont want to be at reserve all year I want to push on. <\/p>\n
Mills will spend most Saturdays making the 650-mile round trip from his home to Derwent Park stadium for home matches, added to the many away fixtures at places such as Glasgow, Edinburgh and Berwick. <\/p>\n
