Manchester League Grand Prix - 9th June 2010, Gin Pit, Astley
Report: Mike Hack
Astley & Tyldesley hosted Round 4 of the Manchester League Grand Prix series at Gin Pit on Wednesday evening. An excellent turn-out saw 15 new riders make their Manchester League debuts - 9 from A & T, 5 from Bury, 1 from Stockport. This resulted in a full, but welcome, schedule of 48 races on the night in an excellently presented meeting.
Bury newcomer James Elston raced unbeaten in the U-10 category, with A & T's Adam Phillips unbeaten in the U-13 match. Stockport pair of Dylan Radcliffe and Mat Lush both raced unbeaten in the U-16 match, with Stockport's Ben Higham and Matt Turnbull of A & T the two U-19s who both scored 16. Once again, it was a very close Division 2 (junior) match and Stockport pipped A & T by 2 points to win, with Bury third.

Premier League: Sheffield v Horspath
Report: Shaun Hudson
Sheffield had few answers today as league leaders Horspath turned in a polished performance to take the league points. The Oxford side got off to a great start with a heat 1 7-3 maximum score after Sheffield's Matt Smith made the early running before being overhauled by the Boaler/Szyczak pairing.
With heat advantages in the next two races Sheffield had little answer to the onslaught as Horspath scored at will, in fact the Sheffield supporters had to wait until a heat 6 6-4 from Angel/Brown brought the first win to the home side. At the interval the visitors held a 12pt lead and the Sheffield side looked sluggish by comparison, Horspath took another maximum 7-3 as the match resumed and the writing was on the wall.
A couple of well taken maximums from the Sheffield team made the scoreline more respectable and it wasn't all doom and gloom for the home side as Ben Dickenson and Ryan Hoyland raced very well and Andy Angel carried on piling up the points. The loss of Leon Wild (who was hospitalized after being attacked on Saturday evening) didn't help either, so all in all a day best forgotten for Sheffield. As for Horspath, they don't look likely to hand the Premier League winners trophy back any time soon.
Result - Premier League

Premier League: Norwich v Leicester
Event: 13th June 2010 | Report: Gary Colby
Leicester Monarchs came to Eaton on Sunday 13th June to take on the Norwich ‘Norfolk Premier Coachwork' Stars in the British Premier League looking to keep the dismal premier league record of four defeats in four league matches going, but the East Midland outfit didn't reckon on the Norwich ‘never say never die' spirit as the stars pushed the high flying Leicester side all the way.
The match started well for Norwich as they took advantage of a couple of Leicester exclusions and opened up a six point lead after four heats (22-16). Leicester then hit back and within three heats they had taken the lead 33-35, with the interval approaching it was Norwich who looked the better side as the stars closed the deficit to go level by half time (44-44).
Early in the second half Norwich took advantage of a Leicester tape exclusion to go back into the lead 54-53, but with the luck that Norwich have at the current time, they just could not hold on to that slender lead and with the match drawing to a close, Leicester went back in front after heat 14 leading by 66-70.
Heat sixteen was a race that sealed the Stars' fate when Leicester scored a 7-2 heat win after Dan Osborne was excluded, to take a seven point lead (74-81) with Norwich finishing on a high through Lee and Ian Grange, it was not enough as Leicester went on to win the match 84-91 and retain second place in the League.
Result
Norwich 84: Leigh Cossey 15+1, Lee Grange 15+1, Dan Chambers 14, Ian Grange 12, Leon Mower 10, Dave Solomon 9+1, Dan Osborne 8, Phil Adams 1.
Leicester 91: Mark Newey 17, Adam Peck 15, Carl Jarvis 14, Dan Pike 13+1, Jason Ashford 9+1, Josh Brooke 8+1n,Kevin Burns 8, Craig Marchant 7.
Combination Match
In the combination match, Norwich put in their best performance of the season by defeating Leicester B 70-60. Josh Colby led the Norwich scoring with 13+2 and George Solomon weighed in with 12+1. James Wakefield returned a score of 10 points, winning the man of the match award after scoring two important and impressive race wins.
Result
Norwich 70: Josh Colby 13+2, Geroge Solomon 12+1, Barry Copping 10+1, James Wakefield 10, Jason Barker 9+1, Rob Warminger 7+2, Oliver Riley 6, Emma Betts 3.
