TULLYLISH DOG SHOW AND RACE DAY SUNDAY 25TH AUGUST 19 As this was the last working dog show of the year, we were up with the lark on Sunday morning, and very soon on our way to the now annual Tullylish Dog Show and Raceday. The sun was beamimg down as we made our way through the leafy countryside of County Down and to the beautiful picturesque village of Lawrencetown.This was the superb venue for the Tullylish Dog show and Race day, and what a day we had. This was one of the best venues for a show that I have been to this year,with ringside parking, well spaced out rings and a good heavy up hill race track. The weather displayed what a good summers day should be, a scorcher, and this no doubt brought the crowds out to full capacity. The children were bouncing about enjoying themselves in the mid-day sun, while the older folk were stretching themselves out on the grass taking in the rays. From early morning, cars and trailers arrived from North and South of the border, with families and dogs in tow. There was a Burger van with very tasty food, Hospitality Trailer for a few bevvys, and Toilet facilities on site. As the show progressed, so did the banter and the craic. It was nice to meet up with so many regular show goers and also some new ones, all out for a good days enjoyment before the long cold days of winter come upon us. And that they done whole heartedly. No matter how many shows I have went to over the years, and there have been many, I still meet and make new friends. What a lovely job this can be. Time moves swiftly on and very soon it was Showing and Racing Time. Here are some Showing and Racing Results. SHOWING RESULTS Overall Champion PUP Stewart Graham with ACE Reserve Champion Kieran Gribben with Buttons Overall Champion Whippet Tracy Gill with Isla Reserve Champion Davy Best with Penny Overall Champion Lurcher Rose Mc Coy with Texas Reserve Champion Harry Roche with Chase Overall Champion Terrier Paul Mc Keown with POPS Reserve Champion Eamo Mc Erlain with Spooky Overall Champion Bull Cross Neil Pinkerton with Ben Reserve Champion Maurice Mc Dowell with Karma Overall Champion Strong Dog Ethan Barry with Bobby Reserve Champion David Hanna with Buster Overall Champion and Best in Show Paul Mc Keown with POPS Reserve Champion Neil Pinkerton with Ben.

Some cracking photographs up on Facebook at the moment. It is nice to have them to look back on when the snow hits the window. And Finally Finally, I always save the best to last, and in this case I really mean the best. To the organisers John Barry and Paul Mc Alinden 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. Every part of your show went like clockwork. Well done and a credit to all involved. Now Folks I must go, as I have an appointment in the next couple of weeks with Mr Foxy at his digging school to hone up some more skills in my old age. He has promised me a few good digs geared for pensioners. To we meet again God bless, and keep safe over the winter, and I look forward to meeting up with you all again in March 2020.

Mid and East Antrim Charity Working Dog Show and Race Day Sunday 11th August 19 at the "Field of Dreams Schooling Track" , Maghera. Set in the rolling countryside of Maghera on the edge of the beautiful North Coast of Ireland is the now famous “ Field of Dreams Schooling Track “. This was the venue for the Charity Dog Show and Race day Sunday 11th August 19. After a trouble free journey, with dogs in tow, we arrived at our destination at approximately 10.00am. The place was buzzing with activity, with a burger stand to feed us all day, and all set up and ready to go for another great sporting event. The weather was pretty good, with a few light showers in the morning, with the sun peeping out for the rest of the day. There was a very nice crowd of like minded Country Sports people there on Sunday, all out with the same goal in mind to win and bring a trophy home on the day, and generally enjoy a good relaxing country sports event. It was nice to see new faces there, along with all the regular show goers. The banter and the craic was good with nice people, all out in abundance at the ‘Field of Dreams ‘ on Sunday, The Racing began at approximately 12.00noon followed by the showing. Here are the Racing and showing Results Heres are the Racing Results Bull Cross Charlene Rafferty with Shifter Reserve Charlene Rafferty with Red Hairy Dogs Earl Gardener with Cillus Reserve Danny Maxwell with Blue U21 Lurcher Fiona Devlin with Robin Reserve Earl Gardiner with Bonny U23 Lurcher Alison Gamble with Zara Reserve Fiona Devlin with Batman O23 Kirsty Harper with Joker Reserve Michelle Rafferty with Sally Whippets Sean Burke with Lilly Reserve Susanne Addis with Poppy Showing Results Childs Handling Class Cayce Coyle with Tyson Gentlemans Handling Class Rea Wilson with Odis Ladys Handling Class Carol Ann Brown with Ice Lurcher Champion Earl Gardiner with Silus Whippet Champion Colin Tucker with Cooper Terrier Champion Aimee Higginson with Toby Overall Champion Pup Davy Best with Danny Overall Show Champion and Best in Show Aimee Higginson with Toby Congratulations to all above winners and well done. And finally, may I take this opportunity to thank everybody who come out and supported this show on Sunday. To the judges - Whippets : Michelle Rafferty/ Lurchers : Clayton Hastings/ Terriers Eamo Mc Erlain/ Childrens Ladies and Gents Handling Class : Lisa Dumigan. Judging can be a hard task master at any time, but you carried out your duties effective and efficiently on the day. Many thanks for that. Photographs were taken by several people, including myself on Sunday and are now proudly displayed on our face book pages. And Finally, Finally, if it were not for the organisers, Chontelle Mc Meekin / Mark Mc Callion and owner Joe Hurley, who worked tirelessly before and on the day to make this show a success, this day would not of been possible. Your input and experience was invaluable. You have hearts of gold and are shinning lights in the Country Sports show arena. Many thanks again for all your hard work and for a great cause. Last Sunday was a very special day for everyone at the “Field Of Dreams Schooling Track“ and especially for the Hurley Family, as this show was held in memory of their beloved son and brother Christopher who passed away a short time ago with a terminal Illness. The purpose of the show was to raise funds for the Marie Curie Cancer Charity who cared so lovingly for Christopher during his end of life days on this earth. The charity Marie Curie Nurses, which this show was run for, help people affected with a cancer diagnosis or terminal illness to achieve a good quality of life, and support them to keep their independence and dignityfor as long as possible. The Marie Curie nurses are angels here on this earth, giving emotional support to families in the community when needed, including treating or managing pain and other symptoms with medicines, therapies and other specialist approaches. Chontelle Mc Meekin has reliable informed me, that in memory of Christopher Hurley and the treatment and care he received from this brilliant charity, £900 was collected on Sunday with some more cash to come in. There will be a presentation at the Marie Curie offices in the coming weeks where the final figure will be announced. How great is this. I must say, Chontelle/Mark and Joe, when I left the “ Field of Dreams” on Sunday evening, I left a little piece of my heart there and for the charity it was held for. I love that Schooling Track, and look forward to going back to this excellent venue shortly. Margaret Mc Stay
