Fine racing a theme as A&T hosts Individual Championships

4 days ago

There was a great day of racing at Gin Pit as Astley and Tyldesley Cycle Speedway Club hosted the North & Scotland Individual Championships on Sunday.
The early matches saw A&T's Alex Lawless and Hull's Harry Gibson winning the Under-10 and U13 matches, respectively, with maximum scores.
It was a similar story for the next round of matches, as Hull's Noah Lyon and Sheffield's Dariusz Pilas won the U16 and Over-40 competitions with maximum scores.
The U19 match was highly competitive, as the three leading scorers all went into the last race level on points, before Lyon took the race win to complete a double.
Sheffield's Lizzie Rigley raced to a maximum score to win the Women's event.
There were rostrum places for A&T duo James Jackson (second in the U10s) and Steve Harris (second in the O40s).
Eighteen riders lined up for the Senior event, so a 15-heats pre-qualifier took place to determine the 16 finalists.
A superb 20 heats of racing took place in a very competitive match as Fife's Kayden Davidson beat Sheffield's Pawel Idziorek in the decisive heat 19 to take the title, with Hull's Jack Lister securing third place overall.
Defending champion, A&T's John White, finished with 13 points.
