A flawless night of speedway saw Workington Comets exact revenge on table-topping Edinburgh, who all but dumped them out of the Premier League play-offs three weeks ago.

The home side overcame a Monarchs side including high-flying ex-Comet Craig Cook to take all three points in their final home league fixture of the season and leave team manager Tony Jackson all smiles.

Jackson said: It was good on so many levels. First of all it was fantastic that we got the meeting on after the weather on Friday. The track staff worked wonders again. I cant praise them enough.

I think the main thing was to get the meeting finished but to beat Edinburgh was another great achievement, especially without our top two in Josh Grajczonek and Rene Bach. They were without riders too but you can only beat what is in front of you.

Comets were dominant from the get go, taking maximum points from the first four heats before swatting away a mid-meeting fightback to win comfortably in the end.

On a night when Workington raced spectacularly well across the board, reserve rider Simon Lambert was crucial to the performance, winning all but one of his rides.

Jackson added: I dont know what odds you would have got on our first four wins but it shows we still wanted to get the three points.

I have no complaints about Aaron Summers at all, he did a job for us in place of our No1 Josh.
