The Vale of Evesham Trial was held at Grove Quarry high on the Cotswold Hills.

A round of the Midland Centre Championship, Steve Saunders made a late entry appearance to brave the cold conditions- and it was cold!

Rumour has it that Steve cleaned the trial with regular championship contender Mark Hicken second on three marks lost.

On the Over40/Clubman route, 2005 Champion Clive Charleton give the rest of the field a five mark head start, by stalling his 4RT on the very first easy section. Although Clive was confident at the end that he'd limited the damage to his 2006 championshp hopes by adding just 4 more marks to his early disaster.

Evesham's Mick Chapman was pleased to finish on five marks lost.

Full results to follow when they come in.

A cold day at Grove Quarry.

Steve Saunders was the winner of the Vale of Evesham Centre Championship trial at Grove Quarry on Sunday.

Completing the tough 40 section road trial for just two marks Saunders, who was not eligable for championship points as he was a late entry, narrowly beat reigning Midland Centre Champion Mark Hicken who dropped four.

Third place was taken by Shaun Fox on six marks lost who was well clear of Richard Allen in fourth place.

On the easier Over 40/Clubman route, Steve Farrall got the better of Eveshams own Mick Chapman by the most cleans tie braek- both riders on five marks lost.

2005 Over 40 Champion Clive Charlton effectively threw away the win at section one when his very cold 4rt stalled. Charlton did limit the damage to his 2006 championship cause by only loosing another four marks to secure third place.

Mick Burton riding his pre-65 machine was best clubman in fourth place on just 11 marks lost.

Many thanks to the Evesham Club for staging such a good event.

The next round of the Midland Centre Championship will be Leamington Victory's Good Companion Trial on 19th March.
