Stockport hosted the 6th and final round of the Manchester League Grand Prix series on Wednesday evening. On a very dry track, there was a good turn out of riders.
Astley & Tyldesley's Adam Turnbull and Max Evans made some impressive starts in the U-10 match, but couldn't keep out the more powerful James Elston, of Bury, who raced unbeaten. A & T's Adam Phillips raced unbeaten in the U-13 match, with Stockport's Matt Turner dropping just the one point. Jack Lush of Stockport was the unbeaten rider in the U-16 match, which was dominated by home riders. Stockport's Ben Higham was the unbeaten rider in the U-19 category. In the team scores, once again Stockport narrowly pipped A & T, by 2 points on the night, in the Junior (Division 2) match to win the league title.
