The second round of the Manx Trials Club Championship was held at Arrasey Plantation in bright but cold conditions. Club Champion, Josh Brain, continued his winning ways with another fine ride in the Expert class. The testing section number 8 proved the most difficult for the experts, with Michael Jackson losing half of his total marks there. Craig Norrey put up some spirited attempts at this section producing some spectacular crashes, but was unable to master it.

The Clubman class was once again won by Neil Christian, but the ride of the day came from Steve Collins onboard his Triumph Cub who found the conditions much to his liking and showed a clean pair of heels to the rest of the chasing pack.

History repeated itself in the Sportsman Class with a family double from Neil’s father, Peter and also in the Twinshock and Youth Novice with excellent rides from father and son, Jake and Adam Kelly.

In the Pre-65 class, Colin Scarffe produced the lowest scoring ride of the day losing only three marks over the tricky course. Runner up, David Harding, was slightly off the pace after a costly five on the second section of the day. In the Youth Intermediate class Brandon Bailey and Aaron Molyneux were nip and tuck all morning, with Brandon eventually claiming the top spot.

Our thanks go to all of the observers who helped with the success of the event.
