Richmond Motor Club held its GE Brown & Son Trophy Trial at Park Rash, just above Kettlewell on Sunday.

The day was dry, but slightly cloudy and cool, making for good riding conditions around the three laps of 12 sections.

Richard Sadler had a brilliant ride, dropping only 13 marks after a slack five on lap one, as well as a couple of threes and ones. Tom Middleton came in second overall, dropping 33 marks, followed by Ryan Brown on 38 marks lost.

On the Clubman A (Green) Course, it was a close call in the top three. Tom Rennison came in first place, losing 16 marks, closely followed by Graham Tales and Paul Gravestock on 18 and 19 marks respectively.

Richmond Motor Club would like to make a special mention to the three riders on the Youth B Course, who persevered round a tricky and long trial. Josh Dent finished with 67 marks lost, Oliver Petty on 72 and Louie Mcgee on 93.

The club thanked the landowner, observers, clerk of course and helpers, secretary and everybody else involved in the running of the trial for giving up their time, as well as the riders for entering and taking part.

Its next trial is the Mintex Youth Time and Observation Trial (aka “Mini Scott Trial”) on Sunday, September 10.
