BUXTON teenager Harry Turner hit the trials headlines in Yorkshire on Sunday when he rode his Birkett Scorpa to victory at Addingham Moorside where the Yeadon-Guiseley Motor Club staged their first closed to club trial.

The headlines were not about Harry’s victory but how he managed to beat the invincible Hemingway brothers on home ground.

More unusual as well was George H beating his elder brother Harry. Bad enough but when Chester brothers Dec and Brad Bullock scooped the Escort class from Braford builder Charlie Smith. Enough though of the depressing, for Yorkies, news. Tony Holmes flagged the course implementing changes in the sections and also reversing the direction to the normal clockwise rotation.

Ten sections were plotted starting at the south extremes of the land. Section two penalised all but Turner and Harry Hemingway. Turner did not have any penalties but the north area section changed any chance of a win. Sections six to eight were hard and tight. Many of the section featured tight turns on rocks which tested George H.

Brother Harry incurred a five in the second section otherwise it is likely he could have posted a clean ride. Regular Clubman A and B contenders Paul Kettlewell and Phillip Hammond won their classes albeit with tight progressive scores right down each class. The Club also ran a Clubman C route for four riders which Jimmy Crabtree won and a Small Wheels which Alfie Drachenberg won with a penalty free ride. Y-G run again on February 6 at Keighley Gate with a Centre Championship trial.
