SGB Championship play-off, semi-final, second-leg: Workington Comets 52, Glasgow Tigers 38 (agg: 90-89)

Edinburgh Monarchs star Ricky Wells won the 30th and final heat in the SGB Championship play-off, semi-final to take his tally for the night to 13 points.

Ex-Workington Comets star Wells, standing in for Glasgow Tigers’ crocked No 1 Craig Cook, powered to the flag from the gate on his former track.

But Nicolai Klindt and Ty Proctor team rode to keep ex-Monarchs and Berwick Bandits racer Claus Vissing in fourth place.

And Tigers, who won the first-leg in Glasgow 51-38, were edged 90-89 by Workington on aggregate after the double-header.

Comets now meet either Lakeside Hammers or Peterborough Panthers in the final while Glasgow are left to reflect on coming so close to making the final
