On behalf of the N.I.L.R.C. I would like to thank Albert Titterington and everyone involved with the running of Shanes Castle Game Fair for inviting us to run the Racing and Showing, and for all the support that has been given to them in this their 1st year.

The N.I.L.R.C. would also like to thank everyone who turned up and took part, not only at shanes castle but at all events held by them this year.

Again thank you for your support and hope this will continue.

perhaps its because they support and attend most shows Graham, personally i don't enjoy them, so don't go but i've never understand why people get hot under the collar regarding showing or racing, its only a bit of summer craic , certainly not to be taken too serious.

Working whippets....who is Nicky Robinson?.....must be a mistake, Graham Fyffe or is it Savage owns Bolt :boogy:

Lawrence totally u agree with show same faces but surely dogs should be picked on what class there in for. I've seen veterian terrier class been giving to terriers that should never be winning it because there owned by someone who goes to every show same as lurcher some of them an judges to a very poor standard

      The Tally Ho Dog Show and Raceday Saturday 3rd May 2025
      As 7am on Saturday morning 3rd May 2025 rang out loud and clear in our house, I crawled out of bed and thanked god for allowing me another day on this beautiful landscape of ours called the Emerald Isle. With the joys of spring in my heart, Mr Fox away on his summer holidays, the work in the field completed for another season, it was show time again on this side of our Island. 
      Suddenly the seasons were telling me it was Tally Ho show time of the year again and time to get our Canine friends in the show ring and on the race course, for the start of the summer Dog show and Race Days schedule. 
      Some of us have had joyous occasions in our families since the last showing season, and some of us may have had great sadness, as fate can throw all sorts of problems in the pathway of life. As we dusted ourselves down after our winter woes, Saturday was a day to leave all our cares of yesterday behind and head to Crumlin for  the Tally Ho  annual dog show and race day.  And what a days enjoyment with our loyal Canine friends that was.
      The weather was beautiful, but tinged with an east wind that would cut you in two. As we approached the field, we could see very clearly there was very little parking space left. Each year this show grows bigger and better. Peter Morgan being the caring gentleman he is made sure he kept a parking space for the now 2 senior citizens and of which we were very grateful. 
      By midday the field was full to capacity.  In the show rings there was a big turnout and a great mix of top quality dogs in all categories. 22 races and 28 children in child handling class.
      As I moved around the rings, I met up with some old friends and some new ones too. Michael Reilly travelled up all the way from Tipperary. Yapper Hayes came up from Kilkenny and Stephanie O Connor and family and Mc Grath Family travelled up from Carlow.  All great doggie people and support every show and race day North and South of the border.
      Stands were situated around the show ground. Paul Boyd with loads of canine supplies/ Alannah Harpur and her sister with some beautiful Tea Shirts and Mugs and Mary Kate Quinn was there with her amazing art work . What an interesting and talented lady to speak to. There was a burger stand on site and 4 toilets dotted all around the field.
      Our children as usual were well cared for by the Tally Ho show organiser Peter Morgan, both in the ring and outside it. Two bouncy castles were on site and inside the ring were trophys, medals and big bags of sweets for every child. A real childrens paradise. Some sleepy we people on Saturday night.
      Time waits for nobody. The moment had arrived after the long cold winter to get our Canine friends out of the field and into the show ring and on the Race course.

      Peter we all look forward to your shows as they brighten up our darkest days and brings us away from the trials and tribulations of life, if only for a day. Your show is a credit to you for a one man band, along with all the time and energy you put into them to give us all a great days enjoyment.
      Thank you for your friendship over the years and please do not stop running your shows. Yours in Country Sports to we meet again, God Bless.
