EDINBURGH MONARCHS 52
WORKINGTON COMETS 41
The Cumbrian Craig Cook and Andrew Tully powered their way to 12 points each as Edinburgh Monarchs finally ended Workington Comets' three-month unbeaten run last night in the Premier League encounter, writes Nigel Duncan. Rene Bach and Adam Roynon both scorred 11 for Comets. Glasgow Tigers' league meeting at Scunthorpe Scorpions was abandoned because of rain after four heats with Tigers leading 14-10.
n Glasgow Tigers have dropped Filip Sitera, the 24-year-old former Czech Republic under-21 champion to reserve for tomorrow's Premier League visit of Edinburgh Monarchs to Ashfield (4pm). Mason Campton, the in-form Australian, comes into the side. Stewart Dickson, Tigers have listed Henning Bager, their new signing, from Elite League Coventry Bees, with Chris Mills cut from the squad. "We cannot afford to lose any more home fixtures so we were forced to look at altering things," he said. "By signing him on a 5.76 [pts] average it gives us a little leeway for other areas of the side if we need it."
n Berwick Bandits, who play host to Workington Comets tonight (7pm), have recruited the former Swindon Robins racer Robin Aspergen to take the place of Alex Edberg, who has a broken ankle. They have released Lubos Tomicek and signed Liam Carr, a 16-year-old Tweedmouth schoolboy, to fill the reserve slot.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.

We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
