AFTER three weeks without a fixture, Astley & Tyldesley Miners Welfare-CTA Direct Cycle Speedway had a full weekend of racing.

The team travelled to Bury on Saturday for the opening North & Midlands Regional Round of the British Youth & Junior League series.

A & T's four youngsters all turned in excellent individual performances in their respective age categories, with Becky Heslop putting in a great pass to win the U14 Grand Prix Final, and John Nuttall and Dylan Radcliffe finishing second in the U-12 and U-10 Grand Prix Finals respectively.

Heckmondwike hosted round two of the Northern Fours League and Junior League series on Sunday. A & T fielded an inexperienced line-up in the Senior Fours League match and this showed in the final result, despite plenty of effort on a heavy track. Peebles-based Ewan Tulloch top scored for A & T.

A & T put in a better performance in the Junior League match, again finishing third. John Nuttall top scored for the second day running, again just dropping one point in the U13 category. The rest of the squad weighed in with solid performances in their respective categories.

Astley & Tyldesley take on Hull in a Northern Junior K.O. Cup Semi-Final match at Gin Pit on Tuesday, April 27, starting at 7.30pm.
