ALL SQUARE AT NORTHSIDE

WORKINGTON salvaged a 45-45 draw in their home Cab Direct Championship clash with Edinburgh thanks to a last-race 5-1.

Comets guest Nicolai Klindt completed an impeccable 18-point maximum as he combined with Drew Kemp for a 5-1 and a share of the spoils.

That meant it was a case of mixed emotions for the Monarchs who had led the bulk of the meeting and were eight points up at the halfway stage, but they could still be content with two more league points to strengthen their grip on a play-off place, as they now sit second in the table.

Reserve Jordy Loftus kept up his great form for the visitors with 12+1, whilst Jonatan Grahn and Kye Thomson both notched 11+2.

Edinburgh boss John Campbell said: “I think we’ve got to be very pleased with picking up another two league points. Anything we can get away from home is a bonus. Nicolai Klindt of course made all the difference, (Jonas) Jeppesen may not have scored a maximum.

“But I’m very pleased we got the draw and the aggregate. We had some exceptional performances.”
