It’s healthy for us to compete against other like minded dog men/women, but ffs take it on the jaw if you fail to reach the same heights as the next man/woman. I don’t show or race dogs, why? Many moo

there was no complaining about the racing at the mourne and that was because i stated on the line if there was any problems then spit it out there and then and funny enough face to face there were no

i was over judging the clondulane show a few weeks ago and nothing wrong with that irish show, very well run and managed great prizes and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves and the craic. also

As far as I know there was no prize money at Camlough so this would tend to knock your theory on the head And when we put up good prize money for gundogs, angling and clays we don't have this srt of trouble.

there was no complaining about the racing at the mourne and that was because i stated on the line if there was any problems then spit it out there and then and funny enough face to face there were no complaints,the fact is all the mouthing happens from behind keyboards under false names and it doesnt matter about any prizes from there.I can tell you all under my own name weither you like it or not that the most of the ones who run the shows are sick of this goin on and if it keeps up it could be a long boring summer in 2013.

It would appear to me that there is nothing wrong with Irish shows. It's more to do with the people attending and after event mudslinging. Much the same happens over here in "Blighty" but with a lot less vigour.

One thing I have noticed over here though, is that racing is either advertised as an "open" meaning Greys are welcome to run or there is racing for Greys in the racing schedule.

Yes, you will always get the ones that must win at all costs and put up a grey in amongst the Lurchers but who are they really cheating?

      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
