Astley
& Tyldesley Miners' Welfare / CTA Direct Cycle Speedway entertained Kingston
Cycles / Hull in a Northern League match at Gin Pit on Sunday. On a hot, sunny
afternoon, A & T were at full strength, whilst Hull had three first teamers
missing.
A
& T provided five of the first six race winners, but Hull packed in the
minor placings and led by 1 point after heat 6. A & T then took control of
the match, winning seven of the last nine races, to run out convincing 85 - 63
winners. Frank Finnigan, Tomasz Wlodarczyk and Przemek Binkowski all raced
unbeaten for the home team, with the back-up riders improving after a dreadful
start to the match. Hull battled gamely throughout, with Andy Angel and Chris
Cooke their only two race winners.
