Stockport hosted the second of the Manchester League Individual Championship nights on Wednesday.
There was a good turn out of 14 riders for the U-13 category, racing on a grippy track with the threatening rain fortunately not materialising. Matt Turner took a crucial win in heat 1, with Joel Partington taking 3 laps to get past Callum Smith, which left him with too much to do to catch the leader.
Adam Phillips, Reece Pollitt and Matt Turner all won their opening two races. Phillips took an assured win over Turner in heat 9, whilst Pollitt took another win in heat 10, with Partington winning his second and third races to keep up the pressure. Turner took the win in heat 13 to move onto 15 points, with James Elston keeping out Pollitt for his first dropped points. Phillips, Partington and Turner all won their next races, before Phillips clinched the title with a fine 20 points maximum after heading home Partington in heat 19. Adam Phillips was also presented with the trophy for winning the U-13 Grand Prix series held earlier in the season.

Just seven riders lined up for the U-19 event, but this turned out to be a hard fought event. A couple of showers of rain left the gates slippery and this caused a few upsets with riders spinning on the gate in several races. Heat 1 saw an exclusion to Jack Lush as he dived hard under Luke Jamson with both riders falling on the outside of the pits bend. In the re-run Jamson fell as he tried to go round Jake Read, who took the win, with Jamson re-mounting for 2nd.
Ben Higham and Dylan Radcliffe won their opening races, then Higham and Jamson won the next two. Radcliffe moved on gate 1 in heat 6 and was excluded, gifting Lush the win. Radcliffe beat Read in the next race, followed by wins to Jamson, Higham and Read, to keep up their challenges. Heat 11 turned out to be the deciding race. Radcliffe took the win, with Higham concentrating on keeping Jamson behind him for the 3 points necessary to retain the U-19 title he won last year.
