Astley & Tyldesley pulled off a last ditch victory in their Northern Fours League match at Bury on Sunday. The Gin Pit based outfit looked to have lost out after a series of errors throughout the match, but came good in the last four races to overhaul home team Bury and keep out a strong challenge from Sheffield. Tomasz Wlodarczyk once again raced unbeaten for A & T, in his final match of the season before returning to Poland, with solid work from Frank Finnigan, Chris Finnigan and Warren Mee. Both Simon Gamble and Martin Gamble were impressive for Sheffield, whilst Bury were well served by Paul Dyson and Neil Howarth, with a gate exclusion to Ben Scranage proving costly.
