Astley & Tyldesley's unbeaten run continues with wins in all three Northern League matches today at Gin Pit. On a hot, sunny day, defending champions A&T easily accounted for Sheffield in all three matches, despite a spirited effort by the visitors. A&T took five successive maximum heat wins early in the Division 1 match and it wasn't until heat 8 before a race was shared. The second half continued in a similar vein, before Sheffield recorded their only heat win of the match, a 6-4 to the Kielan Burton/ Adam Watson pairing over Emily Burgess and Mark Grantham, in heat 17. Reece Pollitt, Paul Graham and the returning Adam Phillips all raced unbeaten for A&T, with Steve Harris losing only to Ed Morton. A&T ran out 113-66 winners, with Sheffield claiming inside grids from heat 6. Fastest time was 40.40 seconds by Reece Pollitt, when he beat Ed Morton in heat 15.

Three 7-3 heat wins in the opening four races paved the way for A&T to control the Division 2 match.
