Colin Crease maintained his winning run in the Wessex Centre Trial Championship with a four-mark victory over Craig Talbot in the Wilts Border Club's Border Cup event, when more than 60 riders faced four laps of 10 sections in woodland.

Talbot lost his chance of defeating the 14-times champion when he stopped in the last section on his final lap, which he had completed without penalty on his previous visits.

Apart from that, he lost two marks in the second and seventh sections and one in the sixth in the event at Draycot, near Sutton Benger.

Crease's total was made up of single-mark penalties in the second, third, sixth, seventh, eighth and last sections.

Tim Wheeler won the over-40 class on a less demanding route, losing 10 marks along the way. Nine of those came in the sixth section, where a cambered turn over tree roots became exceedingly slippery, with the other dropped mark coming in the first section.

Over-50 class winner Martin Strang, from Compton Dundon, near Street, also lost 10 marks. He lost five in the sixth section, two in the first, one in the third and two in the last.

After gaining first-class awards in several recent events, Peter King took the premier award in the BSSA's Alan Brown Trophy Series Timed and Observation Trial in Filers Woods, Backwell Hill, near Lulsgate. He finished close behind fastest rider Matt Ridgeway in the 11-lap event but he lost only 14 marks on observation, all in the fourth section, where a climb around a tree and over tree roots penalised all 45 starters.

Runner-up Jeremy Cross lost 13 marks in the same section and three on another climb over tree roots in the final section.

Ridgeway was first to complete the hour-long event but he still lost the enduro class main award to Tom Smith, who lost fewer marks on observation.

Novice winners Paul Mason, Jack Blacker and Rob McIntyre were outstanding, finishing ahead of all the non-expert class winners.
