Sun 12th Oct Edinburgh v Astley & Tyldesley Edinburgh

A&T faced a strong Edinburgh side for the Division 1 match at Redbraes Park. Tomasz Wlodarczyk took an uncharacteristic fall, whilst leading heat 2, on a slippery track, but recovered well, to win all his remaining four races and top the scores for A&T. Paul Graham made a welcome return to the team after being sidelined for a weeks with a knee injury and he dug in for a good score. Led by the unbeaten Mikey Hewitson, Edinburgh were solid scoring throughout and rode to a 111-67 victory.

Edinburgh took the Division 2 match, as they kept up their title challenge in this division. A&T conceded 20 penalty points for using an ineligible rider, Tomasz Wlodarczyk, as they went down to a 98-71 defeat. He raced to a 20 points maximum score, whilst Max Evans and Gareth Paine teamed up to take maximum points in a highly eventful heat 14, which provided the crowd with the best entertainment of the day. Ciaran Collins was in the thick of the action, whilst Chris Snell again deserves credit in standing in for the absentees. For Edinburgh, Ewan Kennedy lost first time out to Wlodarczyk.
