Astley & Tyldesley welcomed Sheffield for a Northern League encounter at a hot and sunny Gin Pit on Sunday. In the Division 1 match, A&T took the lead with a well worked 7-3 to the Mark Grantham/ Damian Zareba pairing in heat 2. The next race saw first Paul Graham, then Kyle Holland receive gate exclusions, to gift Sheffield a 7-0. However, the same pairing made amends with a 7-3 in heat 5, to put the home side back in front, 25-22, for a lead they never lost. Sheffield belatedly claimed inside grids in heat 15, as the home side marched on to clinch a comfortable 95-78 win, despite suffering two more gate exclusions. Reece Pollitt raced unbeaten for A&T, with Zareba losing only to Adam Watson in the last race. Watson and the Morton brothers were always in the thick of the action for the visitors.

A&T had five absentees from last week's home defeat returning to the side for the Division 2 match. The more familiar line-up raced to a convincing 86-64 win, despite four of the opening five races being shared. Two 7-3 heat wins put the home side 41-29 up and firmly in control. Max Evans and Mark Grantham, on his birthday, both raced unbeaten, with good support throughout. Luke Morton did a sterling job for the visitors, regularly shepherding his partners to share the points.
