The Final round of the Junior League series, saw Astley & Tyldesley and
Bury start as joint leaders on match points. A&T's Ben Dickinson rode
well to score 13 points in the u-10s match, ably backed up by Joe
Quarmby and Emily Burgess with 11 apiece. A&T suffered a blow in the
u-13s match, when Max Evans had to withdraw injured from the meeting,
after being put into the fence in his second ride - this after he had
won his opening race. Ciaran Collins won two races in this match, to
score 14. Reece Pollitt won his opening three races to score 15 points
in the u-16s category. Reece also secured overall victory in the u-16

in the Combination match, ably backed up by Roy Heslop on 12.
Despite a valiant attempt by all the A&T riders, it was Bury who took
the win on the day, to win the Northern Junior League series by a single
match point.
