Location: Prissick Base, Middlesbrough
Event: 10 November 2013
Report: Snowdon Sports
Yorkshire dominated the Inter Area Team Championships at Prissick Base near Middlesbrough on Sunday, winning three of the four categories on a frosty and challenging day.
The White Rose county won the seniors, veterans and women’s categories. Only in the youth category were they beaten, with East Midlands winning there.
The host North East area were narrowly beaten in the senior category. They placed four riders in the top ten, but with their fourth counter – event organiser Keith Murray – having been declared as part of the North East B team, they were pipped to the senior title by Yorkshire by just five points.
Nick Barnes led Yorkshire home in third spot, while their other three counters in the seniors race were Dieter Droger, Rob Partridge and Jack Clarkson.
First over the line was North East Under-23 ace Adam Martin, while Giles Drake took second spot for the North West.
Ian Taylor won the veterans race for Yorkshire A, and while National over-50 champ Steve Davies (South West) took second, there was no stopping Yorkshire who placed Chris Young, Chris Taylor and Andy Peace in third, fourth and fifth respectively.
Rebecca Womersley took victory for Yorkshire in the women’s race, and she was followed home by Nikola Butler, Annie Simpson and Amira Mellor in a dominant performance from the Yorkshire women.
And there was also a Yorkshire winner in the youth race in Alfie Moses, although they were pipped to the team win by the East Midlands, for whom second-placed Joshua Waters was the best rider.
The day had started with a cold welcome to Middlesbrough – so much so that the frost-covered course had to be changed for the youth race to avoid dangerous stretches of tarmac which were replaced by grassed areas.
By the time the veterans race began the frost had mostly gone, although the hazard had been replaced by stones which caused many punctures.
