The trails section will be holding the 3rd championship event which will be organised in a quarry in Fawwara limits of Siggiewi. The programme starts at 9:00 am i and non-members are welcome to par- ticipate. Meanwhile on Sunday 19 Febru- ary 2017 the Association organised the third event with 16 Enduro com- petitors registered and divided into two classes. The event started with the Pole Position runs with Joseph Scicluna on a KTM and Bernard Sammut also on KTM leading the pack, with Scicluna edging it out with a marginal advantage. During the first official heat the competitors continued to improve their times. In Class B Scicluna and Zammit continued to defend their position with Scicluna leading by four seconds advantage over Zam- mit. During the first heat James Zahra on Yamaha motorcycle entered the top leaders scale too as he signifi- cantly improved his lap times. The competition for the lead also continued in the second Heat de- spite Scicluna accentuating his ad- vantage to defend his top position in this class as well as in the overall scale. Meanwhile, the attention turned on who will take the second and third spots where Zahra and Zam- mit continued their combat during this heat where now Gary Debono also entered the scene and placed close to the leaders on his Sherco motorcycle. Nevertheless, the final result con- firmed Scicluna winning the day with a Lap Time of 5 minutes 27.46 seconds. Scicluna was followed by Zammit in second place with a lap time of 5 minutes 34.59 seconds. Debono and Zahra finished in third and fourth respectively. Zahra closed the day with a time of 5 minutes 35.34 seconds while Debono closed the day with a Lap Time of 5 minutes 41.84 seconds. In Class A, where motorcycles with a smaller capacity compete, the fight for the lead was between James Grima on his KTM and the KTM of Debono Elvin. During the pole posi- tion event Grima registered his best time followed by Debono on a KTM and Krist Falzon on a Honda. Dur- ing the first Heat Debono managed to improve his time and secured his lead in this class while he was fol- lowed by Grima and Falzon. During the second Heat Grima made his very best to restore back the placings that he lost in the first Heat. Though Grima again im- proved his Lap time this did not result in positively because Debono continued to improve his time over Grima and Falzon who were in com- bat for the Second and Third places. The Final Result confirmed Debono as the winner of this class with a Lap time of 6 minutes 9.82 seconds followed by Grima in second place with a Lap time of 6 minutes 26.85 seconds. Falzon is placed third in class A with a best Lap time of 6 minutes 39.14 seconds. Fourth place finisher Aidan Camilleri on Yamaha lapped the course in 6 minutes 43.76 seconds.
