Sun 11th April Astley & Tyldesley v Sheffield (Combination) Astley & Tyldesley


Astley & Tyldesley staged their first home match of the season at Gin Pit, against Sheffield Rockets, on Sunday. Two young sides took to the track for a Northern Combination League match and a great match took place, on a bright and warm afternoon. The first three races were shared, before Sheffield took the lead with a 7-3 in heat 4, but A & T leveled the scores in the next race. The match was still level after nine races, but A & T sealed the match with four successive heat wins, to take a 72-58 lead after heat 13, eventually winning the match 81-69. Adam Phillips raced unbeaten, with Joel Partington and Stefan Whitelegg losing once each to Sheffield's best rider Kyle Brough. The rest of A & T's youngsters were all in the thick of the action, turning in a great team display, as A & T christened their new racing shirts in fine style.
