ASTLEY and Tyldesley added three more experienced cycle speedway riders to their first-team ranks for the new season in the final week of the transfer window.

The three, all from current Elite League champions, Horspath of Oxford, are former British Veterans Indoor Champion Errol Thaw and his team-mates Simon Munden and Leighton Bates - Munden having ridden for A&T during the 2007 season.
