ILKLEY heating engineer Andy Tales recovered from his Scott Trial ordeal sufficiently to win the Clubman 50/50 class at Bradford Motor Club's John Metcalfe Trophy Trial at Sutton-in-Craven on Sunday.

He beat Darren Holmes, from Keighley, and Luke Standring but a clash of events meant that only 28 competitors entered.

Meanwhile, Rawdon's David Lamin scored points in Hillsborough MCC's Final Normandale Traditional Trial Championship at Bradfield on Sunday.

The ninth Yeadon-Guiseley Club’s Championship at Dob Park, also on Sunday, attracted some major national contenders in the 74-strong field.

Of them, 50 rode the full ten-section, four-lap Dob Park course, while 24 youngsters did their own thing on an eight-section, three-lap course in the adjoining Browns’ Wood.

MRS Sherco national riders Luke Walker and Daniel Slack dropped in from Ashby de la Zouch and Whitwick respectively for some hard practice and, in the case of Slack, to bed in his 2016 125cc Sherco.

Walker outclassed the Yorkshire riders, while Keighley's Jacob Snowdon, a Class B rider, was seventh on the hard course, taking Class A after Bradford's Keiran Child smashed the rear wheel on his Beta.
