DESPITE the snow warnings, almost 60 competitors headed for Addingham Moorside for Yeadon-Guiseley MC's annual DT Smith Trophy trial on Sunday, which saw Keighley's Aaron Carter among the class winners.

Richard Sadler braved the icy Wensleydale roads to win the trial from Faceby's Guy Kendrew and Headingley expert Liam Walker, while Carter earned a Youth Class B triumph.

Guiseley official Mike Jennings and his team marked ten mild sections for the 48 main course contenders. His care showed up with a low scoring results sheet. Sadler rode every section four times without losing a single penalty.

Kendrew was right on target to match that but lost a single mark in the wall-side section at the north wall on lap one.

Only seven riders contested Clubman A, which went to James Wainwright ahead of Carter and Richmond's Ryan Brown - two young riders who are climbing the ranks rapidly.

Harrogate building materials retailer Neil Gaunt won Clubman B riding his Beta machine, while Denholme's Olivia Brooksbank topped Youth Class B.

Arran Sherwin, Mason Carter and Jimmy Crabtree won the three small wheels classes, while Matilda Arbon and Denholme's Summer Brooksbank tested the boys in the middle course category.
