Astley & Tyldesley travelled to Hull for the final Northern Combination
League match of the season. Hull fielded some new riders amongst a very
young team. Heat 1 was drawn after Hull's Rob Stockton-Garner passed Roy
Heslop on the finish line, but a 7-3 heat win to the Reece Pollitt /
Daniel Burns pairing over Katie Greaves in the next race put A & T in
front for a lead they never lost. Ron Makin took a heavy fall after
tangling with Stockton-Garner at the first bend in heat 6, but bravely
carried on for the rest of the match.
Reece Pollitt raced to a fine 20 points maximum score, going off outside
grids in four races. Roy Heslop was unbeaten after his first ride, with
Ron Makin, Daniel Burns and Matt Snell all scoring well. Dan Smith-Makin
was making some good starts, but couldn't hold on, except for heat 10
when he followed Reece Pollitt for a 7-3 heat win.
For Hull, Rob Stockton-Garner rode well, losing only to Reece Pollitt in
heat 13.
