THE Richmond Motor Club hosted the British Youth C&D Trials Championship at Parkgate Farm, Wensley, near Leyburn, last Saturday.

The entry of 52 competitors rode three laps of a 15-section course and C class rider Ben Morphet ran out the clear overall winner on his Gas Gas.

He finished some 12 marks clear of second-placed William Brockbank on a Sherco, with Zak Shepherd (Beta) a further six marks down, just three marks clear of Richard Sadler (Beta) from West Witton.

Another local, Jack Stones, took the Delon twin shock class from Blair Rodber and Robert Waite, with Chloe Richardson in fourth place. Harriett Peacock, from Hipswell, finished 23rd, so there was plenty of local up and coming talent on show.
