Workington Comets 57 Berwick Bandits 38: Workington Comets lifted the Border Trophy to go out of the Premier League play-offs in style. <\/p>\n
Comets went into the meeting with a seven-point deficit after losing to the Bandits in the first leg. <\/p>\n
But Workington pulled it back with a confident display to win 98-86 on aggregate and take the Border Trophy. <\/p>\n
Bizarrely, Comets contested the second leg of their play-off clashes with Berwick on the same night as Edinburgh and Somerset met in the final. <\/p>\n
They started in a positive vein, Ricky Wells and Ulrich Ostergaard dominant from the gate in the first race of the night ahead of Bandits No1 Matej Kus. <\/p>\n
Heat two saw an awful gate for MacDonald but his teammate Lambert continued the impressive form he showed against Edinburgh last week with a thrilling ride, Alex Edberg at his heels the whole way. <\/p>\n
And with Edberg out again as rider replacement for Steen Jensen, Mason Campton had to drive up the inside and Rene Bach up the middle. Edberg retired from the back but Bach hammered round in style with Campton and ex-Comet Kevin Doolan in tow to make it 13-5 after three races. <\/p>\n
A phenomenal start from Claus Vissing who left him untouchable for the duration as points were shared in heat four. <\/p>\n
In heat six, Edberg led the Comets pairing of Wells and Ostergaard before a stunning pass round the outside from the former. Vissing nicked past Ostergaard on the first bends of the penultimate lap, who bombed past round the outside at the next opportunity to make it 4-2 and 25-11 overall. <\/p>\n
