On a bright, but bitterly cold day, A&T entertained Heckmondwike in a
Northern League fixture at Gin Pit.
In the Division 1 match, A&T took two maximum 7-3 heat wins early on to
move into a 10 point lead after heat 4. The next four races were shared
points, to make the interval score 45-35. The home side stepped up a
gear after the interval, banging in four 7-3 heat wins. Despite
Heckmondwike claiming inside grids after heat 10, A&T ran out
comfortable 87-63 winners, for their second Division 1 win of the
season. This was a good solid team performance by A&T, with the main
body of the team all scoring well. Polish flyer Pawel Idziorek won all
his five races for the visitors, but Darren Kent was the Tykes' only
other race winner in heat 9.
