Hull fielded a rider more than A&T in the Division 3 match, for u-12s.
However, great riding by Max Evans, despite an injured back from a heavy
crash in the previous match, saw him race unbeaten. Matthew Snell
weighed in with a good score to maintain A&T's lead at the top of the
Division 3 table, having won all nine matches ridden so far this season.
