|
Astley & Tyldesley hosted Round 4 of the Manchester League Grand Prix series, on a very warm sunny Wednesday evening. A well watered track kept the dust down. The Division 2 match was raced first, and it continued the run of close encounters between Astley & Tyldesley and Bury. However, the lack of a fifth rider cost Bury on the night, despite all four of their riders scoring well. A&T ran out winners 63-55. Bury's Jayden Hancock, in the u-13s section, and A&T's Duncan Whalley, in the u-16s group, continued their unbeaten runs in this year's Grand Prix series. However, Bury's Bobby Dunphy dropped his first points of the series at u-10s level, when he was twice beaten by A&T's Josh Pilkington. Bury's George Keeble impressed with three wins, including Pilkington's only defeat in heat 5, before the A&T rider gained his revenge in heat 8, as the Bury rider fell whilst attempting an inside pass.
