Club Championship Round 7

Cronk Aashen, 26 October 2008

 

Round 7 of the Manx Trials Club Championship took place on Sunday at Cronk Aashen. Torrential rain the previous day made for very slippery conditions, sections one and seven over tree roots causing considerable problems for the riders.The hill climb at section eight proved very popular, drawing quite a crowd, especially when overall winner Nigel Sharpe came back down quicker than he went up!

Damien Owen came in second in the clubman class with Robbie Lace three marks adrift in third. Dave Harding had an impressive ride in the sportsman class dropping just one mark with Steven Teare beating Barry Teare to second place on most cleans. The sportsman twin shock class was won by Kevin Whiteway with a loss of six marks whilst the sportsman pre 65 class was won by Jim Davidson dropping just nine marks. School  boy expert Ryan Corkill riding the clubman route had a good ride with a loss of seventeen marks with intermediate school boy Ollie Megson on thirty-eight. Thanks go to land  owners and observers.
