Astley & Tyldesley hosted Round 4 of the Manchester League Grand Prix
series at Gin Pit on Wednesday evening. An excellent turn-out saw 15 new
riders make their Manchester League debuts - 9 from A & T, 5 from Bury,
1 from Stockport. This resulted in a full, but welcome, schedule of 48
races on the night in an excellently presented meeting.
Bury newcomer James Elston raced unbeaten in the U-10 category, with A &
T's Adam Phillips unbeaten in the U-13 match. Stockport pair of Dylan
Radcliffe and Mat Lush both raced unbeaten in the U-16 match, with
Stockport's Ben Higham and Matt Turnbull of A & T the two U-19s who both
scored 16. Once again, it was a very close Division 2 (junior) match and
Stockport pipped A & T by 2 points to win, with Bury third.
