North & Scotland League champions Astley & Tyldesley booked their place in the CS Cup National Final, with a win in the North & Scotland Regional Final at Gin Pit this afternoon. Hull arrived with just four riders, so the B races consisted of three riders only. A heavy rain shower during the first half of the match made for tricky conditions for a few races. The first round of races was closely contested, with the scores after heat 8 being A&T 25, Stockport 23, Bury 21, Hull 7. It all went wrong for Stockport with three successive exclusions in heats 12, 13 and 14, with Jake Read also receiving a yellow card following his exclusion in heat 14. This put Stockport out of the running, with A&T having opened up an eight points lead at the interval. Interval scores were: A&T 52, Bury 44, Stockport 32, Hull 16. Bury kept up the pressure on A&T during the second half, ensuring that Team Green didn't pull away, until they won the last four races convincingly from their grid 1's. All nine Astley & Tyldesley riders scored well and it was A&T's strength in depth which gave them the edge over the other teams. Reece Pollitt recorded the fastest time of the match, 40.91 seconds, in heat 31. North & Scotland Regional Final result: Astley & Tyldesley 102 Bury 86 Stockport 76 Hull 30 A&T: Reece Pollitt 14, Steve Harris 14, Kyle Holland 14, Max Evans 14, Pawel Idziorek 13, Paul Graham 10, Ciaran Collins 9, Mark Grantham 9, Mick Knowles 5, Emily Burgess dnr.
