The championship got off to a great start in the Shropshire hills with the opening round Vic Brittain Trial organised by the South Shropshire Motorcycle Club. Richard Sadler took the win with just two dabs in section 19, Sam Haslem kept the pressure on, just two behind and Hugo Jervis third. Reigning champion Dan Thorpe had an off day with a costly five dropping him to seventh on the day surely he'll put this youngsters in their place at this weekend’s second round at the Strafford club's Colmore Cup starting near Chipping Camden.
