Wednesday, 15 February 2012
Michelle Hanlon, from Banbridge, who will compete at Dechomet at the weekend.
BANBRIDGE and District Motorcycle club will host the eighth round of the Ulster Trials Championship and Jimmy Robinson Memorial Trophy at Closkelt Road, Dechomet, this Saturday (18 February) commencing at 11am.
The event will be sign posted from the area of Moneyslane situated on the main road between Banbridge and Castlewellan.
Local Banbridge rider Johnny Lunney, who currently lies second in the Senior A section of the Ulster Championship, will be trying to stop the championship leader Harold McQuad from winning at Dechomet. But McQuad has been unstoppable this season and is closing in on his fourth Ulster Title. With 20 points separating them the scene is set for a ding-dong battle between the pair on the day.
In Grade B 11 points separate the top three competitors. Robert McCrory heads the table from Willie Dickie and Ryan Sailes. Again this will be a close affair.
Matt Miller has a comfortable lead in Grade C from Aaron Moore and Ian Scotty who are some 40 points adrift.
Robbie Jennings currently leads grade D from Paul Harvey and Ian Page.
In the Junior sections the leaders are Stuart McClurg, Curtis Brown, George Taylor and Ross Morrison.
