Thanks Tully,

 

We will have many other good prizes throughout the show.

 

I forgot to say that the Over & Under 23" dogs from Shane Lee's recent racing meeting have also qualified for the Master Mc Grath Final.

 

We are happy to take another couple of Irish Shows , one more Welsh one and a couple more English shows to give a good representation from all over these islands.
