Astley & Tyldesley Cycle Sppedway Club opened their Northern League programme with a hard fought win over Stockport on Sunday.
The scores were very close for most of the match, as A & T struggled to overcome two race exclusions, before pulling away in the closing stages to record a 79 - 68 win.
A & T welcomed Polish star Przemek Binkowski back after a four year absence and he went through the card unbeaten, winning all his five races to take maximum points.
