The 82 mile event was the first ever Telford AC rally to be 100% asphalt however the weather that preceded the rally meant that conditions were very slippery. The entry was restricted to Novices and Beginners.
Morgan/Schofield, who had been the second novice crew home on the pervious weekend's Farrington Trophy, dropped time at just two controls to narrowly beat navigator-turned-driver Iwan Jones, who had Terry Bennett on the maps.
The top Beginners crew Andrew Warburton/Alan Gough were just five second further back in third place.
James Wozencraft, who, as a driver, had won the BRC Stars of the Future Award, tried his hand at navigating; he guided Chris Ridge to sixth overall.
Trophies were awarded to competitors who were under 21, the winning junior driver was Jonty Bloxham, who finished 16th overall, while Andy Falconer won the navigator's award, finishing in 7th place.
