Clarke Claims Second Victory of the Season After a hectic and challenging fortnight of racing in the World Enduro Championship, Electraction TM UK’s Gordon Clarke returned home on Sunday last to compete in second round of the Irish Enduro Championship. With three 50 km loops and four timed runs through the 8km long forestry special test it would be anything but an easy Sunday afternoon spin. Comfortably making the check times set out, it soon became clear that the event would be won and lost on the special test and in particular the final tricky uphill climb to the finish. After the opening test Gordon found himself in second position but rose to the top of the class after blitzing his second run through the test. Full report

Tyson Maytom-Jones took the Expert win and with it the 'Lee Wheatley Memorial Trophy'.The racing in the Vets class was nail biting stuff with Craig Beattie and Martin Brown arriving at the scanning point for the final time together - they were awarded joint first with local lad Glen Axon within spitting distance. Andy Claxton fought his way through following a poor start to take the Clubman E2 class while Jet Ski wizz kid Jake Forward and newcomer to the sport dominated the E1 class.
