Yorkshireman Jack Clarkson (Hope Factory) gave the North East riders a master class in the CXNE Boxing Day ‘Cross at Temple Park round 13 in South Shields.

Clarkson and Tony Fawcett (Team Scott UK) shot away from the start at a blistering pace given the frozen conditions, leaving CXNE Series leader Stuart Wearmouth and Fawcett’s team mate Keith Murray heading a nine strong group a handful of seconds behind at the end of the starting loop.

Fawcett had managed to pull out a slender gap and led Clarkson at the end of lap 2 by 12 seconds. The third was to be the crucial point of the race as Clarkson, caught Fawcett. However he had no sooner hit the front when he hit the ground as he slid off on an off-camber section. Fawcett seized his chance and attacked, but was re-caught and passed by Clarkson who shot past and into the lead. By the end of the fourth, he was 10 seconds ahead and gone.

While Clarkson was never out of sight, Fawcett’s main concern was now on old adversary Wearmouth who was chipping away at the gap to second place. The gap stablised at 23 seconds by the 7th, but a late charge saw the MTS man post a blistering last lap to take third a mere 14 seconds back.

Junior James Edmond (Ferryhill Whs) chalked up his third consecutive win in the Vets/Women & Junior event that kicked the day off. Having to deal with the as yet still frozen ground. The 72 rider field as led for the first lap by Tony Glover (Derwentstde CC), Matty Worton (Blackhawk Bikes), James Anderson (Adept Precision) Kenny Johnston (Team Scott), Richard Noble (Tyne & Wear FR) and Edmond, but soon the younger man was into his stride.

As the pace of the chasers increased Anderson dropping off by the fourth as Edmond was brought back. Glover then started to hover off the back of the quartet as Edmond increased his pace with 2 to go. As Edmond took the bell, his 13 second lead finally convinced him he race was his as Noble’s late charge saw him pass Johnson for second.

Sarah Murray produced another trouble free ride to finish a clear winner ahead of Junior Sarah Lomas (Scott Contessa) with Nicola Davies (Beacon Whs) in third. With Bev Blakeman (Derwentside CC), second in the CXNE series a non-starter and third placed Karen Robertson (One Life Racing), Davies increased her overall series lead with 2 events to go.

Fergus Scherczer (Derwentside CC) took full advantage of the absence of the league leaders to post a perfect 50 point win for his seventh counter in the Youth event. The win will move him into third with his eighth counting event. Scherczer was challenged in the early laps by Jake Dobson (Newcastle Phoenix), who was winding down after a session with the Junior World Cup Squad in Newport.

Third was Scherczer’s team mate Rhianna Stoves who was a clear winner of the girls event with 19 seconds in hand ahead of Beacon Wheeler Connie Hurton.

Matti Egglestone ensured Beacon Wheelers made the top spot when he led in team mate Barnaby Walkinshaw, who was pushed all the way to the line ahead of Sam Murray (Team Scott), who held second for most of the event, as the trio finished a lap up on the rest of the U12 field. Max Lutz-Atkinson (Marton RT) took the U10 win ahead of the younger Murray sibling Ellis. With 9 wins in the series for Egglestone now, the focus is now on the competition for second place between Lutz-Atkinson and Walkingshaw.
