Winning weekend for Meteors – Workington Comets

I think that your post does Celina a great disservice. There are separate men and women competitions in most other sports so why not speedway? She is clearly a pioneer leading the way for women in a male dominated sport and deserves all the credit for the hard work and dedication that she is putting in to her chosen sport. As for your presumption that all other female riders are 'nowhere close to her level' then you do a disservice to the other 10 riders from six countries (including two British riders) who took part in the meeting yesterday and aspire to be successful in speedway.

The draw is shown as Poole v Workington so I assume that should mean the Comets host the 2nd Leg?

I'm guessing that the web site is maintained by a professional company who probably don't work over a bank holiday weekend, whereas it's much easier to post on Social Media any relevant news updates like they did announcing that Cookie would be riding on Sunday.
