2nd placed Astley & Tyldesley took on defending league champions Edinburgh in a Northern League fixture at Gin Pit on Sunday. Both teams were desperate for a win to keep their title hopes alive and a very hard fought Division 1 match took place, with numerous incidents. Edinburgh took an early lead when A&T riders picked up race exclusions in the first two heats. A 7-3 heat win by the Max Evans/ Reece Pollitt pairing over Lewis Foxley/ Jake Slight in heat 7 put A&T in front for the first time. From then on, the home team took control and pulled away to run out 98-77 winners. Marcin Jakubiak and Reece Pollitt led the way for the home team, losing only to Edinburgh's best rider Mikey Hewitson.

The Division 2 match was less eventful, as 2nd placed A&T took an early lead and were 7 points up after four races. Edinburgh rallied and kept the scores close in the middle of the match, before A&T pulled away with four second half heat wins, to run out comfortable 81-67 winners. Max Evans raced unbeaten for A&T, with Emily Burgess losing only to Edinburgh's best rider, Lewis Foxley.

A&T had two riders competing in the Joe Guy Memorial meeting at Wolverhampton, as a tribute to the young East Park rider tragically killed whilst cycle training on the road earlier this summer. Frank White rode in the u-10 match and scored a solid 9 points, winning one of his races. 10 years old John White rode in the u-16 match, putting in an excellent performance as the youngest rider, to finish joint fifth after scoring 14 points. |
