    A Very Kind Sportsman I was sitting at the ringside in Birr Castle, when Denis Couch from Co Cork, a gentleman who I have got to know over my years at the Dog shows North and South of the border . Denis was carrying too large bags in his hand, and said, Margaret these are for you and your club. I said Dennis, I am a member and committe member of 2 clubs, the Sporting Whippet Club NI and the Nilrc. Well these are for you Margaret. In the bags were a beautiful large Heart Shaped Shield and and a beautiful large Silver cup. Well Margaret, Denis says in his lovely Cork accent, take one for each
