Despite rain falling throughout the meeting, a good sized crowd witnessed an excellent night's racing on the superb new Gin Pit circuit. British Cycling's North West Development Manager, Alex Scoular, cut the green ribbon to declare the track officially open. Also present were several official guests from British Cycling, local Tyldesley ward Councillors, City Build Manchester and Sport Leigh.

First up were the u-10s and A&T's John White raced to a 16 points maximum score, setting a new fastest 3 laps time of 34.94 seconds, when winning heat 6. Charlie Burgess lost only to White, with back from injury, Nathan Holt, dropping points only to White and Burgess. Bury's Louis Turner top scored in the u-13s category, losing only to A&T's Matt Snell first time out. With only one u-19 rider, the u-16s and u-19s races were combined, with scores subsequently adjusted. A&T's Reece Pollitt won all his races on the track, setting up a 4 laps track record of 41.06 seconds, when winning heat 8. Bury duo of Adam Turnbull and James Elston were both unbeaten by u-16 riders. In the Division 2 match score, taken from each club's top 5 scorers from the u-10, u-13, u-16 and u-19 categories, Astley & Tyldesley and Bury tied with 74 points apiece.
