PHIL Disney's new training regime paid handsome dividends on Sunday at remote Keighley Gate where arctic conditions failed to deter 137 competitors in Yeadon-Guiseley DMC's Yorkshire Centre Championship Cobb & Jagger Trophy Trial.

Disney embarked on his get-fit training schedule before Christmas and it certainly showed last weekend when he won the championship class by a country mile.

Even top-rated Richard Sadler was shocked with the low score of the Cross Roads Appleyard Future Montesa rider.

Disney had suffered injury at the Lakes Two Day Trial and had to take 15 weeks' break from trialling.

Disney, who has changed his diet, said: "I took up mountain bike cycling and am clocking 65 miles a week pedalling. I feel ready for action."

Two victories and a near miss at the Old Bazzola Trial at Stocksbridge indicate that things are working well for the Yorkshireman, who has accumulated just 16 marks in three trials with no stops.

Event secretary Sue Smith was surprised by the entry numbers in the Cobb & Jagger Trophy Trial.

Toby Martyn and his father Tim 'dropped in' from Truro, Tom Minta from Telford, Lewis Hurdsman from North Wales and the entire Alford family from Navenby.

For Toby Martyn it was a brilliant weekend and a result he could dream about. Second overall to the mighty Disney, just a single mark in arrears. Martyn was on a two day visit just to check out Yorkshire trials.

* Sixty-five riders battled with the elements at Bradford DMC's Autowbars Novice and Beginners Trial at the remote Manor House Farm, Glusburn last Saturday.

Man of the day was organiser Paul Bailey, who joined in the marking out work, then acted as event secretary, observer, and finally cashier. Certainly a very hands-on official on the day.

Three sections routes were plotted to cater for three classes. On the hard route, Bradford's talented 14-year-old trialler Kieran Child swept through every section without penalty. Ilkley's Joe Tales won the Class A age group from Gisburn's Sam Peel and Cross Hills youngster Will Harrison.

Ilkley schoolboy Edward Earle won Class C and tied with adult winner Ben Hillam. In Clubman A the adult winner was James Mallinson who completed the course one penalty ahead of Bradford youngster Harvey Taglione.
