Astley & Tyldesley hosted the u-10 and u-16 Manchester League Individual Championships under the Gin Pit floodlights.

13 riders lined up for the u-10 championships, including 8 from A&T. Unsurprisingly, the more experienced riders dominated proceedings. Bury's Tom Whitwam won with a 20 points maximum, closely followed by Stockport's James Barry on 19 and A&T's Matthew Snell on 18. There were some impressive performances from the lesser experienced riders, with Ben Dickinson and Emily Burgess riding really well to score 16 apiece, with newcomer Joe Quarmby scoring 15, alongside Bury's more experienced Louis Turner.

There was a smaller field for the u-16s event, but racing was keenly contested throughout. Stockport's Connor Simpson and A&T's Reece Pollitt set the pace, winning their opening three races apiece. The deciding race was heat 11, when Pollitt pulled out one of his trademark fast gates from grid 3, to clear Simpson and pull away to take the win and complete his maximum score, with Simpson taking runner-up. The previous race had decided third place, when Bury trio James Elston, Danny Taylor and Adam Watson had all lined up in that order on 10 points each. Elston raced away to take the win and 3rd place overall, with Watson passing Taylor.
