MORETON-in-Marsh sidecar pairing Terry Howse and Leigh Ricketts returned after a 10-month break from racing.

They headed to Gwynedd, Wales, to compete in the Tonfanau road races.

After a creditable second in the first contest, they were leading the second before clutch problems robbed them of the win on the last lap.

They aim to impress at Leicestershire’s Mallory Park on Sunday, July 29, at an East Midland Racing Association meeting.
