Many thanks to Mick Aris for the submission of the race report as follows:
The aces travelled north to Manchester on Sunday first up was a little practice at the Stockport track which a lot of the present team had never seen, an idea from Lee to get the young aces used to riding other tracks than the Ashmore circuit. A good time was had by all and then it was onto Astley &Tyldesley for the more serious matter of the aces first team match of the season
