Phoenix Tools Premier Motocross Championship has a new champion
</p>
<p>In the over 50′s class it was Championship leader Tom Lowe who took the wins in the first two races from Tim Hawkins, but a slight mistake on the last corner in the last race was to let Hawkins through to snatch the win, but Lowe had done enough, he was 2012 Over 50′s Champion.</p>
<p>In the Junior Championship this also was to go down to the last race. In the opening race it was Wildcards Shaun Kersey and Rob Holyoake at the front from Championship leader Ryan Blee, but it wasn’t long before Blee hit the front on lap 4 and up into 2nd was now Ben Butler who did close on Blee mid race but it wasn’t enough as Blee took the win, Butler 2nd and coming through to take 3rd was Ross Churchill. In moto 2 it was Cameron Packer with a blinding start from Butler who by the end of the opening lap had taken the lead and in 2nd was now Rob Holyoake with Blee now in 3rd.</p>
<p>Butler tried to get away, but Holyoake kept the pressure on for several laps and eventually got pass Butler on lap 7 and from there went on to take the win, Blee came through to take 2nd with Butler 3rd. In the last race it was Butler with the best start, but there was a big pile up and Blee was one to go down, he rejoined luckily with no damage to the bike as he needed to finish the race. Butler led for most of the race, but with just 4 laps remaining he was caught and passed by Lewis Barfoot who went on to take the win from Butler with Churchill again taking 3rd. Blee eventually came home in 7th to much applause and was declared 2012 Junior Champion.</p>
