Workington Comets quest for Premier League glory begins tonight with a daunting trip to league leaders Edinburgh Monarchs.

Comets travel to the Scotswaste Arena (7.30pm start) on a mission to be the first team to defeat the Monarchs on their home track this season as the west Cumbrian club get their play-off campaign under way.

Edinburgh will then make the trip to Derwent Park for the return fixture tomorrow (7pm start).

Comets owner Laura Morgan is under no illusions that Workington have a tough weekend ahead of them.

She said: Tonight is massive. We know what we have got to do. The boys have got to get their heads down, regroup and get on with it.

They have got to raise the bar and do the best they can.

Then on Saturday, if we go back to the abandoned home meeting against Edinburgh in June, it was very close. We were two points up when it was abandoned.

It gives me encouragement. I thoroughly believe we were on for the win in that match. Its fair to say its going to be a very difficult couple of matches for us.
