THE draw has been made for the prestigious Premier League Fours at Workington on Saturday August 21 - 7pm.

Comets promoter Ian Thomas said: ''People who have not paid us a visit this season will notice that we have widened the back straight by some two-metres, making the track more exciting and faster, a point proved when our own Simon Stead took an amazing .7 of a second off his own track record a few weeks ago. ''Can it be broken again int he Fours I wonder? Our track curator, Tony Swales, is preparing a track which is fair to everyone, so we will wait and see!''
