boyo 1,398 Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 been loads of times really good craic the coursing is nothing like the waterloo but still very good couple of days and the irish make everyone very welcome anything and everything for a running dog is on sale there . and in the night the pubs and hotels are wall to wall coursing talk with videos on in every place you go of the days coursing as i said top class three days for running dog folk .but and heres the rub havnt been for last 2 years because of the price of everything over there . it really is an expensive three days .b ut well worth it if you can afford the wonga it costs .

boyo 1,398 Posted August 6, 2011 Report Share Posted August 6, 2011 whin i made the mistake of saying this in a pub in clonmel one night and an old gent who we had been drinking with all night got up and tried to start world war 3 called us hare murderers and cruel b*****ds because of the way we course with lurchers . he must have been near ninety if he was a day but a right character .

beddiwhuppet 10 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 For me, if theres an event for running dogs happening it can only be a good thing,the Chase...long live running dogs,f,t,b.... Quote Link to post
