Gerry P Evans Cymru Car Trial, Saturday 20th July

Roger Holder took his maiden trial win at the Cymru trial on Saturday with some attacking driving. Dry conditions and a couple of tough hills saw Holder lead the class with Duncan Stephens after the first round. Stephens had fuel pump feed failure before the first hill and had to effect a temporary repair. Holder withstood the pressure of numerous trials champions chasing him to take the class by two points and overall on a very tight scoring day. Les Andrew made two very costly errors dropping him to a disappointing fourth in class. Yorkshire's Henry Kitching won the new car class also by two points from local Gareth Williams and Trevor Clarke. Dave Oliver broke his Imp on the fourth hill, resulting in Bill Moffatt winning the class after a very clean drive to take the MSA shield for highest championship contender, in second overall. Brian Roberts took his now customary win in the family Dutton to finish third overall. Stephens second in class was enough to secure him his second MSA Car Trial championship in four years with two rounds remaining having won five rounds overall.
