Long drive back got out of muddy field just on time.

 

Racing was good but there should have been a fence at the end of the track to stop dogs running off. 4 lurchers cleared the track and nearly made it into the main fair in the field next door- a few terriers went running off the track at the end and into the crowd and cars. Some dogs could have got lost here today or someone could have got hurt.

 

Big turnout in the Lurchers.  The ring was jammed . could have done with a bigger ring. Lurcher judge had his work cut out for him, massive job checking over all those dogs. He did  a good job.

 

Saw a couple of whippet classes - was a bit hit and miss.

 Heard  the judge placed someone 1st, who placed him 1st at camlough yesterday. Nice.

 

Some nice terriers there struttin there stuff and strong dogs too.

 

Glad the rain held off for best part and ok day overall.

 

 

Did anyone get to see the 9 native Irish breed dogs inside in the main fair. Thought they were going to be on display all day but were there at the same time the racing was going on, so didnt get a chance.

Super show by all accounts. Lurcher men turned out in great numbers, met some new friends and really enjoyed the show, well done lads, and fair play to the lurcher judge, he had a huge task at hand with the number of dogs, good job well done.
