Bury hosted round 2 of the Manchester League Grand Prix series on
Wednesday. For the second year running, Bury didn't have enough club
members to erect their temporary lighting, so it was decided not to run
the senior event, so as to avoid cutting the match short, as happened
last year. The senior match will now be run next Wednesday (12th May),
registration at 7.45 pm.
Adam Turnbull raced unbeaten in the U-10s category, with Max Evans
losing only to Adam. In the U-13s category, Joel Partington and Adam
Phillips defeated each other once, to finish on 15 apiece. Stefan
Whitelegg dropped points through a fall when well placed in one race.
Luke Jamson put in a good showing in the U-19 match, scoring 12 points.
His last three races were ridden on Jack Lush's bike, after his back
wheel was damaged first time out when struck by a rider from behind. A
sporting gesture from the Stockport rider to lend his bike.
Overall, A & T put in a great display to finish level with Stockport on
72 points apiece, well ahead of Bury and Sheffield.
