As an appetiser before Sunday's international meeting, local riders raced on the full championship track on Saturday.

Bridgnorth clubmen had a field-day bagging thirteen trophies in the ten classes before turning to officiating and marshalling duties the following day.

Gary East set the ball rolling with overall second in the group one juniors after an opening race win was followed by a brace of seconds spots and he was followed in overall third by Andy Broadbridge.

Juniors group two saw Dave Scott also on the second step of the podium.

Brian Jones of Broseley soon found his feet again after making a return to racing after a fifteen-year break. His experience overcame the younger riders exuberance in the slippery conditions and he took the top trophy in group three juniors.

A disappointing sixth position in his middle race saw Andy Preece demoted to the runner-up spot behind Jones having won the first and last races.

Expert rider Steve Davies picked up the overall third prize in the 125 category with Robin Davies (no relation!) going one better to clinch the overall second prize in the 250 class.

Bridgnorth's inter-juniors featured in the awards with Chris Mathews taking the overall third just edging out Lewis Bagnall into fourth by two points.

Top performers of the day however were Bridgnorth's 750 senior and expert riders Richard Goodwin and Ashley Jenkins.

Both raced to victories in all their three races that saw them tie for the BBC Radio Shropshire Trophy, which they will share for six months each.

Having broken a bone in his hand the previous week at Cannock, Jenkins was unsure as to whether he could be competitive but he was uncatchable on the day and is more optimistic going into the 750 championships in Sunday's first round.
