CROSS Roads trials rider Phil Disney won Horsforth DMC's opening event in the Simon Green Championship series at the Parkwood Offroad Centre in Tong on Sunday.

He beat Leeds rival Chris Hunt and Summerbridge electrician Danny Gamble, while Keighley's Aaron Carter was a class winner.

The entry numbers surprised Horsforth official Barry Fairburn when 75 competitors braved the travelling conditions to compete in the event.

The cancellation of Yeadon-Guiseley's trial at Addingham Moorside swelled the hard course numbers to 14.

In the clubman class, 29 competitors battled for championship points on a 12-section three-lap woodland course.

Even the easy-course class was well supported with 24 riders, while 15 youngsters competed in the main event. The class winners included Edward Earle, Carter, Megan Savage, Elliott Laws and Jordan Seymour.

Neil Savage travelled from Barnsley to win the Clubman class from Stanningley's Howard Gulley and East Ardsley's Stuart Hampson. Nidderdale competitor Rob Bratley lost a single mark, in the first section on lap three to win the easy course from Barnsley teenager Megan Savage and Pontefract's Ian Brogden.

Cookridge small wheels rider Poppy Fletcher, from Cookridge, won her class as did Roundhay boy Arron Sherwin. Mason Carter was taken to a tiebreaker by Jacob Potts in the second class in small wheels.
