Emily Burgess is the Princess of Wales after SIXTH triumph!
Women's World and British individual champion Emily Burgess won the Women's Welsh Open Championship at Newport on Saturday – for the sixth time in a row!
The Astley & Tyldesley superstar was once again too good for the rest, with Sheffield duo of Lizzie Rigley and Lacey Ackroyd completed the rostrum places, making it a top three for northern riders.
Elsewhere, A&T took the second win of the Manchester League series at Bury.
New team manager Ed Morton led the way, top scoring, with John White finishing in second place and Frank White fourth.
Manchester League Round 2 result: Astley & Tyldesley 25 Bury 20 Stockport 0 (A&T scorers: Ed Morton 9, John White 8, Frank White 6, Oscar Belt 2).
Meanwhile, A&T's two longest continuously serving club officials – secretary Mike Hack and treasurer Catherine White - attended the King's Garden Party at Buckingham Palace as representatives of the club.
The invitation came in recognition of the A&T club receiving the King's Award for Voluntary Service.
The 16 organisations in Greater Manchester who received the award were all present at the ceremony, and each group was presented with a KAVS crystal and a certificate.
The awards were presented by the Lord Lieutenant of Greater Manchester, Diane Hawkins. She was assisted by the Vice Lord Lieutenant, Sharman Birtles; the High Sheriff of Greater Manchester, Mark Llewellin; and the Mayor of Wigan, Jenny Bullen.
"It was a most enjoyable and prestigious event, held in a magnificent location,” said a proud Mike Hack.
