Reports

Ashley reaches the Heights

By Dick Law - From TMX (23/01/2008)

ASHLEY Newbery, riding a 250 Beta, lost just four marks while on his way to winning, yet again, the Sidcup Sixty Trial at the club’s famous Canada Heights venue at the weekend, and in so doing gets his name engraved for the ninth time on the Youngs Challenge Cup.

His name will go, once again, alongside such names as Gordon Jackson, six-times winner back in the 1950s and ’60s, and local man Gordon Farley, three-times winner, and up to date rides like Sam Connor, winner in 2006 and 2007. But it could have been a completely different story, as the organising Sidcup club have rules and one of them is, that they will take entries after the closing date, but such riders will compete without award and result. One of these riders was the young and very talented James Fry. He had matched Newbery section for section and finished with the same score – four marks – but the he had one less clean than Newbury so would have finished a very close second, if he had featured in the results. The weather was very kind to the club as the continuous rain of the previous week petered out on Saturday night, giving the competitors, officials and observers a more comfortable dry day. Hard-working club members laid out 18 varied sections to be attempt twice, hopefully before darkness. Newbury set off in determined mood and remained clean right up to the imported rocks that comprised section 18. Riders are just not used to rocks in the south and Newbury lost his only points of lap one – a three – as his bike kicked and bounced over them. On his second lap, he cleaned the hazard with relative ease and lost his one and only mark at the top of the steep, wet and muddy climb over some logs at section 13.
