SMCC Pebmarsh Dave Barkshire 2man Enduro Championship

The confidence of the brave stalwart committee deciding to go ahead with this long standing fixture at Pebmarsh in light of low entries and a poor turn out to some recent Enduro events encouraged a last minute flurry of entries to ensure a decent field competed in this fourth round of the Dave Barkshire 2 man Eastern Centre Enduro Championship.

It was a perfect late summer day with a rested course used just once a year providing fresh and inviting turf with a newly created quarry section containing sharp inclines and steep descents punctuated with a mixture of terrain including a tight wooded section and several ditch crossings testing the balance of a few followed by sweeping fast stubble straights.

The temperature hotted up as the afternoon progressed and results saw some familiar faces swop positions in the top few places, but the clubman class showed the Sudbury MCC members brothers Eddie & Will Belton unbeaten in this season’s series so far with another clear win 2 laps ahead of the field. They can’t be beaten in this Championship series. Ryan Mackintosh & Martin Jones in second place 13 points ahead of Tom Sutton and Zak beards in third place with Paul Belton & Graham Mays 6 points behind just one ahead of Will Partridge and Hadleigh Pye in fifth place with Ethan Johnson and Stanley Delany in sixth place having completed just one round at Hawkedon in April and taking away a 2^nd place giving them 17 points. With 2 more rounds there is still time for places to change with only the clear winners having completed all available races.

Expert Class to be decided with just 3 points between leaders Luke Barker & Ryan McDonnell on 68 and Albert Van Dyke and Jack Edwards on 65 Billy Sargeant who missed points in round one due to injury holds on to third place with Liam Vant on 36 points and Jake Klimowicz and Jake Ward have 28 points ahead of fifth place Sam Holroyd and Sam Nicholls on 26 chased by sixth placed Fred Stearn and Shaun Leggett on 25 points.

Championship Class sees Thomas Sargeant & Adam Durkin out in front with 62 points ahead of Ed Pooley and Ross Taylor on 55, Sudbury Members Joe Phillips & Joe Henthorn hold third place on 45 points having ridden one less round ahead of Jack Sheppard and Toby Morley with 34 points for their 2 completed rounds in 4^th place so far and Jamie Roper & Will Hughes with Ben Clark & Jack Nicolaou on 20 points each from each winning the only round completed  so far.
