However, while Yorkshire glory was hard to come by in the senior men's race, Otley's Adela Carter was top woman and Ed McParland took victory in the youth race from Ribble Valley CRC rival Tom Armstrong.

In North Yorkshire, National Trophy Series leader Paul Oldham from Lancashire took victory in the North East CCA event at Croft Motor Circuit as he completed his preparations for this weekend's National Championships at Sutton Coldfield.

And on Saturday, Trophy Junior champion Tom Moses, the Team Wallis CHH rider from Oakworth, finished third in the Notts and Derby League event at Great Longstone in Derbyshire, while Nick Craig took the win and McLay took second, just inches ahead of Moses after a closely-fought race.
