Northern Fours & Junior
League Round 3 |
Astley & Tyldesley | |
|
Astley & Tyldesley took wins on Sunday at a warm and breezy Gin Pit, to extend the lead at the top of the Northern Fours League and to move back into top place in the Northern Junior League. The Fours League saw A&T hold the lead after each of the first, second and third rounds of races, with Stockport a few points behind. Stockport took two race wins late on to put the pressure on A&T. Heat 23 was the deciding race, as A&T's Reece Pollitt pulled off a superb gate from outside Stockport's Ben Higham to take the lead. On the 2nd lap, Higham rammed into Pollitt's back wheel as they entered the first bend on the inside. Both riders fell heavily, ending up on the outside of the track. The race was stopped and Higham was excluded from the re-run. Pollitt completed his maximum with a comfortable win in the re-run and Steve Harris' win in the last race secured the win for A&T. The other four teams were closely matched throughout, before Bury secured third place from Heckmondwike.

The home team won today's match to move back into first place in the table. In the u-10s match, A&T's Aiden Green raced to maximum points, including a superb win from grid 4 over the previously unbeaten Edward Balfour, of Sheffield, in the last race. A&T's Tom Morrissey rode to a convincing maximum in the u-13s match. Sheffield's Kielan Burton won four hard fought races in the two rider u-16's match. Bury's Eryk Motala and Sheffield's Laura Watson were the only riders to contest the u-19s and Women's categories, so they raced in the Division 2 match, with points subsequently adjusted. Heckmondwike's Lewis Foxley raced unbeaten in the Division 2 match, after adjustment.
