What prises will there be for high jump. Also will there be a kept record or 'defending' champion for next year?

There will be the same prize for the High Jump Event as the rest of events,so there will be a engraved plate & rossette's for this event.

And yes a record for the highest jump of the day in the under 23" & over 23".

Hopefully this new event will be well supported .

As this is a first time event ever at Moira and anywhere else for well over a decade Dogs Balls,we are trying to encourage all Lurcher enthusiast's

to take part in this event in what should be a demanding challange for most Lurcher's,i think you would also be surprised DB that the great majority

of Lurcher's attending modern day events are working dog's,but anyone that keeps a Lurcher for showing purpose's only,well i would say good luck

to them as i think it takes all type of folk to make our events successful.

It will be interesting Dogs Balls to see how your Bull Cross performs at this event.

It will be interesting to c what dogs can jump I bet you will only get 2 or 3 the rest are all show ponies you will have to use a plastic bag to tease them over that's all there use to

 

DB,

 

Bringing something new to an event involves a certain amount of risk in every sense, don't think the gilford men need the likes of you and you smart comments putting people off. We should all be encouraging people to come give it a go, after all it's only a bit of craic and healthy compitetion.

 

Or.....maybe your putting it down because you own dog isnt worth a shite and your starting to make excuses already. Do you even support this show??

      A VERY HAPPY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY FRIENDS IN THE COUNTRY SPORTS  ARENA
      As we approach the end to 2025, I would like to reach out and personally thank  all my friends in Country Sports for all  the hard work you  put into  organising our dog show and race days in 2025 for all to enjoy. These were all fantastic events and truly served as a wonderful window for our Country Sports fraternity.
      Days like these at our dog shows in the summer are so important for our community, and your details and dedication to the cause has really shone through. So many charities have benefited over the years and so many new friends made at these get togethers  by like minded people. This was very evident in July this year when the Burren Working Dog Club gave £17,OOO to a charity. What an achievement.
       
      I know there will be some very sad homes  this year,  with places missing at the  dinner table  in  our Country Sports  community. Can I please offer my heartfelt sympathy to all those people , and  hopefully with Gods help you will get through to brighter days ahead.
       
      Many thanks to the McGrath Racing Club Carlow, for a great day out at the 5 Nations and who has travelled north and south of the border to run our racing so efficiently and helped me out on many occasions..  A special word of thanks to Tally Ho ( Peter Morgan ) for keeping the Country Sports window open in the dark days of winter by organising your virtual competitions and giving away so many generous prizes in return. This is so greatly appreciated .
       
      And Finally, to my mentors and long term friends  Mr 5 Nations himself, yes The King of the Castle Albertj Titterington and his lovely wife Irene. Albert it is great to see you getting back to health again, and we look forward to seeing you back on the scene in 2026.
       
      Finally, Finally, may I take this opportunity  to  wish you all North and South of the border and further afield a very Happy Christmas and  Prosperous  New Year.
       
      To we meet again in 2026 God Bless

      A Tribute to the late John Shaw who passed away  last Thursday 6th November 25
       
      I Am Free
      Do not grieve for me now my  friends and family, I am free
      I am following the path God Laid for me
      I took his hand when I heard him call
      I turned my back and left it all
      I could not stay another day
      To Love, to live, to hunt, to show my treasured Whippets, or play. 
      I found a peace at close of day.
      Be not burdened with the times of sorrow
      I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow
      Perhaps my time seemed all to brief
      Do not lengthen it now with undue grief
      Lift up your hearts my friends and share with me
      God wanted me now,  
      He set me free.
      John, we will love you forever and you will be sadly missed by your loving family and all your Country Sporting Fraternity and in the show ring.
      May the Angels above give you the best seat in Heaven and may your gentle soul rest in peace.
      For Country Sports Fraternity
      Margaret Mc Stay
