Astley & Tyldesley extended their 100% record in all three North & Scotland League divisions today! On a cold, windy afternoon, A&T and Hull fought out a keenly contested encounter in the Division 1 match. A&T took the lead in heat 1, with a 6-4 to the Steve Harris/ Mark Grantham pairing over Andy Angell/ Jack Lister. Three shared heats followed, before Angell passed Pawel Idziorek and Adam Stephenson followed through for a 7-3, to put Hull in front, 26-24. Three more shared heats made the interval score: A&T 39 Hull 41. A&T drew level in heat 11, with a 6-4 to Idziorek/ Paul Graham over Angell/ Lister. A&T effectively clinched the match with two great 7-3 heat wins from outside grids by the Adam Phillips/ Reece Pollitt pairing in heats 12 and 14, over Dave Hemsley/ Dan Teal and then over Lister/ Hemsley. This put A&T 75-65 ahead after heat 14. Three shared heats followed, before Hull took a consolation 7-3 in the last heat to Lister/ Angell, as A&T gave Mick Knowles and Matt Snell an additional ride each, with the match already won. The match was very tight throughout the first half, as a strengthened Hull team gave A&T a real challenge. However, A&T's superior fitness told in the 2nd half. Gin Pit track designer Dave Hemsley recorded the fastest time of the day, 40.80 seconds in heat 3.

A&T were able to give rides to two u-13 riders after that, whilst increasing their lead, to run out convincing 74-43 winners. Mick Knowles, Emily Burgess, Mark Grantham and Matt Snell all raced unbeaten for A&T. No Hull rider won a race, but credit to them for fielding eight riders in the match.
