Astley & Tyldesley staged a full day of racing on a glorious spring afternoon at Gin Pit. In the opening home Northern Cycle Speedway League meeting of the season, the Gin Pit circuit was in top condition, for five matches in front of a large crowd. The home season began with A&T taking on Glasgow in a Division 2 match. The first two races were shared, before A&T took the lead with a 7-3 heat win to the Jon Quarmby / Max Evans pairing. A&T pulled away to take a convincing 84-66 win. Ciaran Collins raced unbeaten, with Evans losing only to Glasgow's best rider Andy MacDougall, with strong back-up from the rest. The other visiting riders, all veterans, used their guile against A&T's much younger and faster riders, in a sporting encounter. Northern League Division 2 match result: Astley & Tyldesley 84 Glasgow 66 A&T: Ciaran Collins 20, Max Evans 17 (2), Gareth Paine 15 (1), Jon Quarmby 14 (3), Lee Phillips 9, Ben Dickinson 4, John White 4, Charlie Burgess 1. Glasgow: Andy MacDougall 16 (2), Jim Alexander 12, Joe Beuckmann 11 (2), Colin Gray 10 (1), Chic Mackie 6 (1), Lachlan MacDougall 6, Brian Sibbald 5. Referee - Bill Phillips. Glasgow didn't field any riders for the Division 3 (u-13s) match, so the 12 A&T riders had two races each to secure the points. Emily Burgess and John White both raced unbeaten.
