Astley & Tyldesley hosted Round 3 of the One2Call British Women and Girls League on Saturday.
The South and South Wales team were missing star rider Livvi Horsley, who sustained a broken collar bone the previous weekend. However, they made light of her absence to easily account for a lesser experienced North and Scotland team, who tried hard throughout. A good match took place, with no rider racing unbeaten. Rachel Edge lost only in heat 4, to a fine ride by Sandra Tamborska which saw the North rider sweep round her Southern opponent. The South's Lauren Hookway slipped on the start in heat 6 and although she passed Tamborska, she couldn't catch Laura Watson, for her only defeat of the match. Tamborska and Watson were the two best riders for the North, both winning two races each. The South were solid throughout, with Edge and Hookway losing once each, as did Charlotte Cox in her three races.
Disappointingly, the Eastern team withdrew earlier in the week, so there was no match between Eastern and Midlands.
