Workington Comets 51 Berwick Bandits 38: After three successive defeats Workington Comets got their season back on track with a hard-earned victory over Berwick Bandits last night. <\/p>\n

On Saturday they squandered a six point lead, with three heats left, to go down 46-44 after a heat maximum by Berwick at Shielfield. <\/p>\n
For a while, in the return at Derwent Park, it looked as though the Bandits were capable of completing the League Cup double as the Comets did not get their noses in front until heat eight. <\/p>\n
Consistently gating better than their hosts in the opening exchanges the Bandits had two heat maximums in the first five races. <\/p>\n
The only heat advantage was a slender 3-2 in the re-run of heat four after home skipper Rene Bach had been disqualified following a fall. <\/p>\n
In a gripping re-run Claus Vissing was disqualified after referee Craig Ackroyd had to stop the race. The Dane had gone wide round the last bend, forcing Ashley Morris to take frantic evasive action which ended with him riding onto the rugby pitch, round behind the goal posts and back onto the track after turn two. <\/p>\n
Morris was clearly annoyed by Vissiongs manouvre and had to be restrained from attempting to exact his own retribution. Vissing paid the price and was disqualified with Morris given the race from the only other finisher Steen Jensen. <\/p>\n
