Glasgow 52 Workington Comets 41: Despite losing 52-41 at Glasgow yesterday, Workington Comets are still on course to make the Premier League play-offs.

Maximum points from a shortened home double header on Saturday from clashes with the Tigers and Somerset Rebels have edged them closer to the top six.

It is still a hectic scramble to fit in their remaining seven matches by next Sunday but they should be able to garner sufficient points to qualify.

Saturdays long meeting was finally ended by the curfew after 12 heats, but the previous meeting had also been cut short after 12 races following a long delay in the aftermath of a serious injury.

Chris Mills, guesting for Glasgow, went through the fence on the fourth bend and careered into a wall.

There was a 40-minute delay while Mills was attended to and later he was flown by the Great North Air Ambulance service to hospital in Middlesbrough.

Latest word on the former Comet was that he had suffered back, shoulder and neck injuries but was stable.

Workington had always been in control of that first meeting and when referee Willie Dishington called a halt after 12 meetings it was 48-27 to the home side.
