One of the biggest turnouts of the year rolled up at Billown Farm on Sunday for Manx Grass and Sand Racing Club’s stubblefield motocross event.

The line-up included no fewer than 39 adults and 10 senior schoolboys on 125s, more than 20 youths and four quad bikes, plus a handful of ‘pocket rockets’ having a go on a short track marked out for the kids from four years and upwards.

Daniel McCanney won the opening two races from Max Ingham, hot foot from the ISDE in Spain, while the latter took the honours in the last one.

Returning from a hip injury, Liam Crellin was consistent in third place all day.

Over-50 Graeme Saunders was unbeaten in the B Group, where Orry Millward was his closest challenger.

Josh Blackley was on form in the 125 class, where Zach Worts and Jacob Wilson jostled for the No.2 spot.

Matt Thorpe won the opening quad race, but lost out to Alex McHugh in the remaining two.

In the youth classes, Harry Beattie and Abe Cain scored full-houses in the 85cc class, likewise Seb Inman in the Autos, while Maverick Meechan won two out of three in the 65cc category where Thomas Clague won the last race.

The club wishes to thank farmer Kevin Coole for allowing his field to be used for the event.
