Meath Foxhounds Dog Show Saturday 15th June 24
The townland of Cortown on the outskirts of Kells, Co Meath was the venue for the Annual Meath Foxhunt Dog Show Saturday 15th June 24. Ater leaving home early and with the help of Mrs Sat Nav we arrived at our destination at around 12 noon.
The venue was excellent with rings well spaced out, burger van and toilets on site. Mick Mc Cormack was there with everything you could need in Country Sports and also a very nice stand with some beautiful Jackets and country sports clothing.
In the background it was nice to hear the laughter of the children playing around the field in the summer sun. Huntsmen dressed in their Bolar Hats and white coats, rings of Hounds,Terriers, Lurchers, and Whippets, and the sound of barking dogs as our background music, what a day.
There was a good turnout of Country Sports enthusiasts from North and South of the border. It was nice to chat to some old friends and also meeting some new ones.
Time passes so quickly when one is enjoying herself, very soon it was showing time.
Here are the Overall Showing Results :

The Annual DWTC Dog Show Sunday 26th May 24.
The sun was beaming down on the Gilford countryside last Sunday morning 26th May 24 as the good canine folk from North and South of the border made their way to the DWTC (Tom Barrys) annual dog show. This location was an excellent venue for a dog show with good ringside parking and well spaced out rings.
The good weather brought the crowds out to full capacity. The children were bouncing about enjoying themselves in the mid-day sun, while the older folk showed off their prized canine friends in the different ring categories.
From early morning, cars and trailers arrived with families and dogs in tow. As the show progressed, so did the banter and the craic. The raffle always generates a flurry of excitement around the field with some nice prizes on offer. Some happy punters went home with some lovely prizes.
Time moves swiftly on and very soon it was Showing Time.
Here are the results from the pen of Tom Barry.
Champion Terrier PUP
Jonny with Bramble.
Champion Lurcher Pup
Kyle Quinn with Ranger.

Terriers /Jed Brady
Strong Dogs /Tim Mc Kinstry
Lurchers/Sean Lavery
Whippets/TJ Barry
Judging is not an easy job, but you all carried out your duties very fair and to perfection. Some cracking photographs up on Hunting Life at the moment. This is what memories are made off, and It is nice to have them to look back on when winter hits the window.
And Finally Finally, I always save the best to last. To the show organiser Tom Barry and your back up team, you produced a first class show with impeccable skill and organisation and pulled out all the stops to make your show a memorable day full of excitement and enjoyment for everyone. I am told every part of your show went like clockwork. Well done and a credit to all involved.
Unfortunately I could not make any of the shows last weekend, apologies, as I ended up in Craigavon Hospital with a septic foot from a Clegg bite I got at Craigavon Lakes out luring our dogs the previous Tuesday evening. That turned into a very bad infection, resulting in last weekend totally out for me. Upwards and Onwards, I am up and running again.
To we meet again God bless, and keep safe.
