The 2017 Manchester League season concluded with the Senior Individual Final held at Bury on Wednesday evening. Stockport's Jake Read took a vital win from grid 4 in heat 1, passing his team mate Ben Higham. Higham and Read won their next race each. Astley & Tyldesley's Reece Pollitt won his opening two races. Higham took the win in heat 9, before Pollitt kept up his unbeaten run by inflicting a defeat on Read in heat 11. The three leading contenders all won their next race each, so after four rides, Pollitt was unbeaten on 16, closely followed by Higham and Read on 15 apiece. Higham started off grid 1 in heat 17, with Pollitt on grid 4 and Stockport's Louis Wright on grid 2. The race was re-run after a first bend clash. Higham moved Pollitt wide on the first lap, enabling Wright to come through and briefly take the lead, before Higham regained first place. Pollitt chased hard throughout the race, but was unable to split the Stockport pair. Read took the win in the last race, to join Higham on 19 points and force a run-off for the title. In the run-off, Read won the toss and took grid 2. He gated first and took an easy win, with Higham giving up the chase after one lap.
