Northallerton DMC held its popular Clubman trial at Green Hills Farm, Osmotherley on Sunday, July 9 and a strong entry of more than 60 riders turned out.

Four laps of ten sections of the right severity sorted the winners. Richmond's Tom Rennison topped the Clubman A class from Middlesbrough's Barry Chapman with Ripon's Jack Ancel in third.

Chapman lost ground on the third and fifth with nine marks lost to Rennison's two, but he was the only rider to remain clean on the very awkward first hazard.

Another Richmond rider also won the Clubman B class with a fine ride. He kept it tight, as he had to, as Guisborough's Leigh Smith kept the pressure on, but his loss of two on the sixth just let the win slip away. Many years of experience paid off in the twin shock class as Northallerton's Andy Keel, Stokesley's Mark Hardy and Pete Clements, from Helmsley. went head to head and finished in that order, Keel a clear winner by 12 marks.

The club would like to thank landowners, Mr and Mrs Simpson and all the helpers.
