Manx Trials Club Championship 6th Round

Cooil Slieu 11 October 2009

 

 

The Manx Trials Club held Round 6 of the 2009 Club Championship at Cooil Slieu on Sunday morning. The day was bright and sunny, the threatened rain holding off until after the event.

There were 4 laps of 8 sections, the rock step in Chris Bridson’s section 7 seemed to be the deciding feature.

Nigel Crellin coolly slew the opposition with another fine ride dropping only 6 marks to take the Expert class win, whilst Michael Jackson and Robin Arnold fought it out for second and third places respectively.

Saskia Baxter found the tricky sections much to her liking and produced an excellent ride to win the Clubman class from Andrew Cubbon and Gareth Temple who took the remaining podium places.

In the closely fought Sportsman class Peter Christian held off hard charging David Harding claiming the win by just one mark.

Veteran, Stuart Clague, rolled back the years to see off the young guns Graham Christian and Phil Ward in the Twinshock class.

Josh Brain, after a close battle with Nigel Crellin, had the second lowest score of the day on the Adult expert sections riding in the Youth expert class. Jordan Birchall also acquitted himself well on the challenging sections in second place.

Oliver Megson took the win in the Youth Intermediate class with Craig Norrey in second spot.

Growing in confidence, Aaron Molyneux, took a fine win in the Youth Novice class, from Brandon Bailey and Adam Kelly.

The Club would like to thank the landowners and all of the observers.
