THE FIFTH trial in the Norman Crooks Trophy series took place at Toftgate, high above the Nidderdale valley near Greenhow where 46 competitors rode a four-lap ten-section course.

Only Harrogate competitor Tony Calvert managed to ride every section without penalty, while Silsden's Robert Cockshott just managed to win the novice class from Follifoot teenager Ben Goddard.

The Wetherby & District MC organisers opted for a mild course in the event of rain but that never arrived. Nevertheless there were some high scores in the Club classes.

The Crooks series takes a break until September 3 when the Grimwith Reservoir west of Greenhow will be the venue.
