She showed herself very well yesterday , a deserved champion.

Have to totally agree, cracking show really is getting better year on year , classes judging and the craic all top notch, well done to all concerned.

I really enjoyed this show last year looking forward to more craic this year, hope the sunny south-east lives up to it's name this time round.I'll see ye on Sunday.

what part of the country is this Shane this is in Rathcormac village just 5 miles on the Cork side of Fermoy Co.Cork. Run by a great bunch of lads.

Thanks lads, I'm not complaining about being unknown, I'm very happy living my life under the radar so to speak it just makes running a show extra hard and as ye all know that's hard enough.dmick the antis were already on the committee and with my son having moved on to secondary school they didn't invite me to the meeting and with the school extension paid for they took their opportunity to shut the show down. This year is a bust for me now so I'm going to attend and enjoy as many shows as I can and if I'm still above ground next year we'll see what'll happen.

Thanks for the kind words but sadly I can't see any change of heart coming from them and even if they did a show of this size can't be turned around in a short space of time.The two biggest obstacles in running the show for me have been one I was the only person who was into working dogs so every time you wanted to add an event or class you had to explain it in detail because nobody knew what you were talking about. The second being that despite having over 40 odd years hunting behind me I've always kept myself to myself so nobody in the hunting world has a clue who I am and so I found it impo

Unfortunately there will be no show in Clondulane this year.The Parents Association of the school have voted not to back the show and without them there's no funding, no site and no workers on the day.I don't understand why as the show has always been profitable making €6500 last year even with the bad weather and in all it's guises over the last six years has raised just short of €40,000 for the school.I have tried to get support from the local community but apart from one or two people nobody has any interest in the show. Personally for me it's a huge slap in the face as I had a lot of work

I also agree 100% .My physical ability may be gone but the passion for all things hunting I had as a young fella is still as strong today.

Graham , enjoy the bit of peace while you can , when he switches on there'll be no switching him off. He's turning into a cracker fair play to you.

I've got family members who were caught up in this.Luckly their daughters are ok but friends of theirs lost their son in the attack.Our thoughts are with all the families involved.

That's a pretty bold statement to make and it's because of this kind of bulls##t that it's getting harder if not impossible to get lads who know their game to judge shows anymore.It's a bit much to come on here and slander everyone who ran a show or who judged a show this year.I've been to 90% of the shows this year and I haven't seen the same judge at any two shows not to mind every show.I can't speak for all show organisers but I'll speak about my own show. I brought my lurcher and terrier judges in from the UK two top class judges and absolute gents, both had never judged in this country b

I don't know lads I'm starting to worry about ye now if ye think that cop is from Cork, this will give ye an idea of the Kerry accent, OK the poor b*****d don't know his right from his left and can't cycle for s**t but ye'll get the idea of the Kerry accent.

I think the veteran should go to the final and they always have at our show, but like Chalkwarren says it's the judges choice after that.

As you can see even though she was better looking then previous Dublin Roses, this years Dublin Rose wasn't much competition really
