Here are the full section by section by section results from the ATA Sparrow Lake 2-day Trial held on Sept 9th & 10th, 2023. 

Many thanks to Joyce and Dave Butler for hosting such a fun event blessed with perfect trials riding weather, and yet the logs were still slippery! 

..and the river was at just the right height to prove that trials boots are not meant for wading!

  • Joyce – Sign In and waiver watching!
  • Joyce, Helen, Pat & Tina for their help with the results, and the ties ..always the ties.

Here are the full results for the ATA Tweed 2-Day Trial held on August 19th & 20th, 2023.

Thank you to Dave and Helen Cordy for hosting another great event.

The constantly changing weather leading up to the trial saw Dave standing out in the river building bridges, as the water level remained high and deceptively fast.

Perfect Trials weather on the the day for three loops of 12 sections, with a different set of fun filled sections for Day 2. 

Thanks to the Section set-up crew of Dave Cordy, Kevin Cordy, Rob Smithurst & Chris Snell.

Thank you to Dave, Helen and Daryl, for handling the bbq TDN fund raiser ..more corn still available on request!

Special mention to Helen for handling Sign-In, tyre raffle tickets, TDN donations ..and the usual late entry stragglers.

Scoring/cypher/calculus team of magicians – Helen, Joyce, Pat & Tina. Your patience and determination are really appreciated!

Aggregate awards list to follow, with awards courtesy of Brandon.

Please be sure to thank Dave Cordy for a great Trial!

Congratulations to the overall 2 day Expert winner of the Serres Cup in 2023 – Kevin Cordy.
