Berwick Bandits team manager Scott Courtney looks for an action replay of the form which saw off the challenge of Lakeside Hammers when they visit Workington Comets on Friday.

Comets are at Berwick on Saturday also in the Championship Shield and Courtney believes the victory was down to hard work in mid-week practice.

Skipper Kevin Doolan powered to 13 points to top score with Nikolaj Busk Jacobsen next best on nine points.

Courtney said the whole team weighed in against Hammers with six of the riders claiming wins.

And he was heartened by the form of newcomer John Lindman who looks to be improving. He came second in Heat 12.

Courtney said: “We can do this as a team pulling together.”

Tapes go up at Comets at 7.30pm and at 7pm at Berwick on Saturday.
