Horsforth D.M.C. 2nd Simon Green Championship, Greenhow, Sunday.

Chris Beecroft took a day off as a shop fitter to win the hard course class at Horsforth Motor Club's second Simon Green championship trial at Greenhow on Sunday.

The Yeadon rider has been aiming to win a trial and even switched to a Sherco, in vain, and reverted back to his Honda Montesa machine in recent weeks.

Horsforth were lucky to run at all as the game plan was the Parkwood Offroad Centre but a double booking of the Tong venue brought about an instant switch to Greenhow.

Despite the change of venue, 65 competitors arrived at Greenhow to ride the four-lap, ten-section course.

Silsden football star Danielle Whitham reverted to her Beta machine to compete and keep an eye on her 16-year-old sister Gabby, who is coming to terms with 250cc Beta power after riding a 125cc version for years.

Keighley teenager Aaron Carter, now also 16, got his head down to win Class A behind Class B contenders Jacob Snowdon and Edward Earle.

Drighlington's Mick Kettlewell and Steve Ellis dominated Clubman and Easy classes.
