Sat 13th Aug British Youth & Junior League National Round 3 Astley & Tyldesley

Astley & Tyldesley hosted National Round 3 of the British Youth & Junior League series at Gin Pit on Sunday. A&T had nine riders in action and they put in some terrific performances against Britain's best young riders.

Star performance on the day came from A&T's Emily Burgess, who turned in a brilliant performance to finish 3rd in the u-12 Grand Prix 'A' Final, after scoring 15 points out of 16 in the qualifiers. John White started the day as the u-10 Grand Prix leader, but he fell first time out.
John bounced back with three race wins, but the points dropped ensured he qualified for the 'B' Final, which he duly won, to remain the series leader, but with a reduced lead. Max Evans also started the day as the u-14 Grand Prix leader and his 14 points put him in the Grand Prix 'A' Final. Max finished 4th, to retain his lead, albeit with a reduced margin. Ciaran Collins made a blistering start in the u-17 qualifers, winning his opening race and setting a new track record.
Disaster struck next time out, as he took a very heavy fall at the first bend, sustaining facial injuries and a dislocated shoulder, resulting in a hospital trip and a lengthy spell out of action.
Wednesfield's Brandon Whetton twice lowered the track record later in the match, with a new record time of 40.41 secs.  The new Gin Pit circuit held up superbly in a full day's racing.
