THE Bolton Clarion track team, racing at the Manchester Track League on Friday nights, is beginning to gel together nicely.

The three novice riders, Jim Ince, Ian Tipping and Dave Hession are gaining rapidly in experience captained by veteran Tony Bowles.

Both Ian and Jim were in the points on Friday, their first in the league. Taking third spot in the scratch was Ian, while Jim took second in the one kilometre race.

Tony has already taken his tally to four points and is beginning to get involved in all the races. The team of four are certainly getting the team colours a great deal of respect.
