Please remember all dogs racing must be muzzled

 

All whippets must have papers(to be shown) otherwise will race with under 21

 

Only under 21s will be measured.

 

Lurchers will be split same as mourne raceday with elite and lurcher classes with same prizes for both

 

All racing will be after Digging

 

Showing starts 12.30 with free childrens class

Hope to see you all there on the day

 

Tango , does that mean under 23's will not be measured? , iv seen a few "unders" dissappear since measuring has come in...

the racing at the mourne has ran two years under these rules without a hitch. at the end of the day it has to stop somewhere, as always at the mourne if anyone has any issue with a dog they are racing against all they have to do is shout and we will sort it out there and then.there are not many dogs that havent been measured now im sure. louiejoe any whippet without papers will go in the under 21 race in which they will be racing lurchers afterall. commonsense and honesty is a very rare thing the last few years lets try and find some and have a good day with the dogs and family for a bit of craic and a good cause. y.i.s kieran.

Just incase your wondering where chine the U23" lurcher is, she has not been at any show's this year due to her being in season, if ya new anything about bitch's then you would know that you cannot run them in season for a few month's. and if you where referring to my bitch china she has been messured for 6year's by the main club's all over the uk. and even over here she was messured 3 time's at one event. i think 6year's is long enough for messureing one dog alone. all the best thank's

Now .....rant over?

 

 

Leanne /John, This comment was not directed at anybody in particular....!

incase you have both forgot "china" run at my show last year in the under 23's and won!! So im wondering how you could take this to heart...! :hmm:

Its clear to be seen how much lower the enteries are for the under 23's racing since the NILRC have declared measuring , which is the first time I ,in 15 years of running to these events that i have ever seen measuring of any dogs at any event!!

The NILRC are doing something that should have been done a long time ago,so fair play to them..

and im certain the two men in charge of the NILRC are more than capable of measuring a dog and keeping a record so the rest of us dont have to worry about this...

Just hope that the rest of the clubs can take a leaf out of the NILRC rule book and make things fair for all....!

      South Tyrone Fox Hounds Dog Show and Raceday, Saturday 18th May 24
      Annaghmore Raceway is an up to date and well designed track set in the leafy picturesque Armagh countryside.  As the new summer season of the thrills and spills of our dog shows commence, this venue was the ideal spot for the South Tyrone Foxhounds Dog Show and Race Day last Saturday 18th My 24. 
      From early morning, cars and trailers arrived from North and South of the border, with families and dogs in tow. There was a Burger Bar, a Country Sports Stand, and a goodies stand for the wee people on site   
      As the show progressed, so did the banter and the craic. It was nice to meet up with so many regular show goers, and also to meet some new ones. Our Canine people have hearts of gold, always contributing  and supporting our charities along the way, and this one was no different. What a lovely job this is. 
      Niall O Cloghan and sons were there with their wonderful Terrier Maze. This maze brings so much joy and excitement to every Terrier man in the country, seeing their well breed terriers running the gauntlet from one end of the Maze to the other and winning a prize at the end of it. Niall this Maze is a great invention and long may it continue.
      The weather was glorious with sunshine all day. The show started at approximately 12.00 noon with the racing first.
      Here are the Racing and Showing Results

      Terriers   =    Dave Roberts
      Strong Dogs =  Jonny Bell
      Pets               =   Karla
      Judging is not an easy job, but you were consistent and fair, and very successful with the end product. 
      The racing was carried out to perfection by a young lady of young years Katelyn McKenzie, with the help of her mother Leanne Hawthorne, herself has many years of experience in the Canine world. A job well done ladies.
      Some lovely photographs were taken on the day by Eamon Mc Erlean. You definitely have the knack of photography Eamon, and no doubt these will be up on the site shortly.
      And Finally, Finally for a first time show, well what can I say. They say behind every good man is a good woman and Hanna Heinonen you definitely fit that bill. Hanna Heinonen and Ryan Carville you run this show with impeccable organisation, along with your team Charlotte Eaton, Daniel Jones and other members of the committee. 
      Hanna and Ryan, you pulled out all the stops on the day and produced a first time top class show with a top class venue on the day. Well done and a credit to all involved.
      I am Looking forward to more of the same in 2025.
      This show was in aid of Air Ambulance Northern Ireland, and what a cause. The air ambulance saves so many lives each year and have touched on all our lives in one way or the other. What a deserving Charity.
