Astley & Tyldesley rode to a big win, 95-45, over Heckmondwike in a Northern League encounter at Gin Pit on Sunday.
For the second Sunday running, Heckmondwike could field only four riders and the outcome was never in doubt. Credit goes though to the four riders for putting on a match, with Darren Kent twice putting in fine rides to beat Ben Dickenson from the back and Andy Bradshaw a race winner in heat 14. For A & T, both Dariusz Pilas and Remi Burchardt raced unbeaten by an opponent, with Ben Dickenson beaten just twice. The rest of the side put in a solid showing throughout.
