Astley & Tyldesley's youngsters dominated the Manchester League u-10 Individual Finals at Bury on Wednesday. A&T riders took the top five places, as they did in the Grand Prix series. Defending champion Joe Quarmby and John White both won their opening four races, before meeting in the decisive last race. They were joined by Jack Murray, who had dropped just one point to Charlie Burgess in his opening ride. John made the most of his grid 1 to race away and complete his maximum to take the title, with Joe gating round Jack from grid 4, to finish second in the race and overall. Jack's third place meant that he finished with 17 points, one point behind Charlie, who finished in 3rd place overall. Jack Littler rode well for his 16 points, taking fifth place overall, with Lucy Grantham scoring a creditable 11 points. Manchester League u-10 Individual Final result: John White (A&T) 20, Joe Quarmby (A&T) 19, Charlie Burgess (A&T) 18, Jack Murray (A&T) 17, Jack Littler (A&T) 16, Charlie Thacker (Bury) 15, Duncan Whalley (Bury) 13, Zak Thacker (Bury) 13, Angel Etheridge (Bury) 13, Lucy Grantham (A&T) 11, Kaci Neath (Bury) 10, Hermoine Whalley (Bury) 9. Referee - Stuart Howarth (Bury). Ciaran Collins withdrew from the u-16 event with a broken hand, sustained the previous weekend, so A&T had no riders in this event. Heat 7 was the decisive race, with all three riders unbeaten up until then. Bury's James Elston pulled off a great ride to pass his team mate Danny Taylor to take the win, with Stockport's Michael Preston third. With all three riders winning their final race, that was the order of the overall placings in the match. Manchester League u-16 Individual Final result: James Elston (Bury) 16, Danny Taylor (Bury) 15, Michael Preston (Stockport) 14, Kaysar Mohammedi (Bury) 13, Devon Campbell (Stockport) 11, Louis Wright (Stockport) 11, Adam Taylor (Bury) 11, Louis Turner (Bury) 9, Sean Etheridge (Bury) 8. Referee - Stuart Howarth (Bury). |
