Workington Comets first home meeting of the season against Newcastle tomorrow night will make for a fiery derby atmosphere, according to owner Laura Morgan. <\/p>\n

Comets will contest the Ian Thomas Shield over two legs against the Diamonds, the first leg at home tomorrow night (7pm start) with the reverse fixture 24 hours later at Newcastles Brough Park (6.30pm start). <\/p>\n
As with Redcar, its a derby match with another northern team so both sides should be well-supported and up for it, Morgan said. <\/p>\n
Our boys are desperate to get out and see what they can do on our home track. <\/p>\n
We got that first away win under our belt early at Redcar. <\/p>\n
So now its time to do the same at home for our supporters. <\/p>\n
And although Morgan suggested Newcastle might not provide the stern test they have in recent seasons, she stopped short of calling them a pushover. <\/p>\n
She added: I think Newcastle look weaker than they have for quite a few seasons but you only have to look back at our team on paper last year to know how difficult it is to predict at the beginning of the season. <\/p>\n
