Astley & Tyldesley enjoyed mixed fortunes in their North & Scotland League fixture against local rivals Bury, at a warm and sunny Gin Pit on Sunday. As always these days between the two clubs, the matches were ridden in a competitive, but friendly spirit. In the Division 1 match, both teams had first choice riders missing, but Bury's replacements were more experienced than A&T's. Consequently, defending league champions A&T went down to a heavy 74-104 defeat. Bury provided the race winner in 17 of the 18 races, with Tom Dunphy racing to a fine 24 points maximum. Reece Pollitt incurred a gate exclusion in heat 1, whilst Mike Baldock and Kris Ramsden were both unbeaten until the nominated rider races. A&T's four regulars scored well, but Steve Harris was the only race winner, in heat 1.

Bury: Tom Dunphy 24, Kris Ramsden 20 (2), Reece Pollitt 19 (1), Mike Baldock 18 (3), Eryk Motala 14, Mark Radford 6, Bobby Dunphy 3 (1). Referee - Mike Hack. The roles were reversed in the Division 2 and Division 3 matches, with A&T having the upper hand in both matches. Bury conceded 25 penalty points for fielding an ineligible rider in the Division 2 match, to make their numbers up to four. A&T raced to a convincing 108-56 win, as Duncan Whalley dropped just one point to Kris Ramsden in heat 5, whilst Owen Simcock enjoyed his best ever match, with three race wins.
