Glasgow Tigers 40 Workington Comets 50: Workington Comets produced a highly-charged performance at Glasgow to book their place in the semi-final of the League Cup.

Rene Bach

Ahead from heat six, and needing to win by seven points, the Comets finally clinched their objective in the final race as top pair Rene Bach and Josh Grajczonek gated well for a 5-1.

Gating was the key to Workington's success as they consistently got away in the majority of races to pose serious questions of the home side.

Bach and Grajczonek both reached double figures and were the top scoring riders in the meeting. Bach had three race wins and Grajczonek one, while Workington in total had nine heat winners.

The only real concern for the Comets was at reserve where the Glasgow pair outscored their Workington counterparts 14-5.

Ashley Morris had a particularly disappointing meeting with two retirements through mechanical problems and an exclusion following a fall. Morris, in fact, was the only Comet who did not register a heat win.

His partner Chris Mills scored a very important win in heat six. He gated and, along with Bach, team rode through the four laps to put Workington in front for the first time.
