Round 15:  3 November

Josh Veale won his maiden MSA British championship sporting trial at the November Sporting in only his third season of championship trialling.

British title protagonists Tom Bricknell and Ian Bell took the early lead, dropping just five points on the first round ahead of Richard Robarts on 11. Bell and Robarts had the best second round scores and Veale was fourth at lunch but a superb third round score of eight was enough for him to win the event.

Bell, Robarts and Bricknell all tied three points behind, with Robarts winning the intermediate class from George Watson in sixth place overall. Alastair Moffatt had replaced his engine the preceding week and won the novice class from John Cole in ninth overall.
