Astley & Tyldesley rounded off the 2010 season with a junior challenge
match at Bury on Sunday. A & T fielded a young team, who gave it their
all in a very sporting, competitive match on a sunny Autumn day. Bury
fielded two much older juniors in Ryan Livesey and Will Owens and a
veteran rider in Steve Mann and this trio raced unbeaten, as Bury ran
out comfortable 89-61 winners, a reversal of the scores in the
corresponding match at Gin Pit last month.
Despite the disparity in age and size, plenty of good racing took place.
Bury's young James Elston gave good back up to the top trio, losing only
to Reece Pollitt, who was the visitors' only race winner. Pollitt was
down on points after after taking a heavy fall last time out. Stefan
Whitelegg and Sacha Street were always in the thick of the action and
both scored well.
