BERWICK 55 COMETS 37: Workington Comets returned empty-handed from their trip to Berwick after being in contention for a bonus point for most of the match.

Leading the way: Comets Josh Grajczonek on the outside of Berwick's Alex Edberg, blue, and David Bellego. Below, Mason Campton heads Berwick's Bellego in the opening heat

In good heart from the point picked up at Peterborough the night before, the Comets were unable to repeat the trick.

Team manager Tony Jackson said: It was a good effort really and the final score doesnt really give a true reflection. We were in the mix for a bonus point for a long time and their two 5-1s in the last three heats rather took it away from us.

We seem to be in a situation where we cant get all the lads firing at the same time. However the encouraging thing recently has been the way Joe Jacobs has been riding.

Hes fitted in well at reserve and his win in heat 14 was against experienced rivals.

Ricky Wells is riding well and he top-scored again for us and he picked up two of our five race wins.

Workington had to make a late change at reserve where Simon Lambert pulled-out after feeling unwell during and after the Peterborough match.
