Workington Comets v Redcar Bears

Report

WORKINGTON edged out Redcar 47-43 as their Cab Direct Championship clash at the GT Tyres Arena on Saturday went right down to the wire.

The Comets pulled back a four-point deficit to edge ahead with two races remaining, and in the finale Antti Vuolas passed the Bears’ Danny King with home guest Chris Harris snatching third place from Charles Wright.
