Wed 8th July Manchester Junior and Senior Grand Prix
Round 6
Stockport


Stockport hosted the 6th and final round of the Manchester League Grand Prix series on Wednesday evening. Sheffield led the Division 1 table, with Stockport leading the Division 2 table, at the start of the night's racing. However, a dramatic evening's racing saw both leading teams overhauled, with Stockport winning the Division 1 title and Astley & Tyldesley winning the Division 2 title.

Stockport included the Lush twins to field a full strength line-up for the first time this season and they beat Sheffield on the night in the Division 1 match. This put them level on match points, but crucially Stockport scored 32 more race points to give them overall victory. A & T had led the table after 4 rounds, then Sheffield led after 5 rounds, before Stockport snatched overall victory at the 6th and final round. Dylan Radcliffe and Dariusz Pilas were joint top scorers on the night, with the Stockport youngster a clear winner in the overall Senior Grand Prix series. Best for A & T was Ben Dickenson, with a win in heat 11.
