YOUTHFUL duo Hazel Johnson and Dale Davies fared well against veterans of the sport at the Dennis Wells Memorial Trials in north Wales on Sunday.

While Johnson, 20, and Davies, 17, have only 37 years between them, they faced experienced drivers such as John Waddington and John Wadsworth, whose combined age is 153.

Johnson, from Accrington, took 13th place ahead of Davies in 17th in an event where drivers complete a number of sections over hills with the aim to climb the course without stopping or hitting penalty markers.

Hazel’s father, Steve Johnson, took eighth position at the event in Denbighshire.

Wadsworth was seventh with Waddington 12th.
