hope from now on that any show that is run under the rules of the NILRC that the committee members running the shows racing on the day will not be running there dogs on the day as had happened at the last show. if they keep doing this why not let the folk who run the show and the dog judges put there dogs in as well? this needs to be fair for everybody and the committee should do this as from there show this sunday. hope they get a good turn out for a good cause.

Why does it matter about my name.im not slagging anyone or saying anything personal about them.just the facts as they stand.fact is they started the year by announcing thry were saving racing and the fact is they have made everyone hate it within two events.fact they took my money at the gate so im intitled to my opinion regardless of my name.

Many thanks Fakename / Danny 300 for your comments. So are you saying the good Terriermen,Lurchermen and Whippetmen and women of this country, should not run their own dogs at their shows, which they run for charity all over the country, North and South of the border outside the Hunting season.Do you realise the comfort these clubs and Gamefairs bring to families in this country by the revenue they make and are more than willing to give proceeds and sponsorship with a kind heart, to filter its way to those most in need, These are our valued caring hospitals and charities ..Do you know that £100 can help pay a Cancer nurse to sit with a dying patient for one night, making he or shes passing from this life a little more comfortable.I hope you have never been in that situation. I have been that soldier. Do you realise the brilliant work our hospitals do each day and night saving the lifes of our treasured children in the baby units all over the country.Do you realise that some of our children need a little more attention than others, for example Austicism/Spinabifida and so on. What would we do without our hospitals and charity to help us out in our hour of need. Ask the show sponsors, Lurcher Terrier and Whippet men and women in our canine fraternity that attend all of these shows and Gamefairs and give so generously by partaking in the shows and enjoys the days craic at the same time,what they think All the Gamefairs and clubs that run these shows, they know the end products is to help to contribute to saving lives and bring comfort to the needy . Wise up, and stop criticising these clubs and Gamefairs who are trying to give a days craic and enjoyment out from the trials and tribulations they leave behind them at home. When you bad mouth one club, you are bad mouthing them all. Life is to short for that carry on. Try and see the good in people for a change, help not criticise, and see the good work that is being done.through our clubs. I thought all this rubbish on this form was to end after last years disasters. Cut it out, because you are doing more harm than good to the Good Men and Women the Hunting world. (Lurcher/Terrier/ and Whippets)

margaret this is my last post on this. it makes common sense that who ever is over seeing the racing on the day not to run there dogs. judges dont show there dogs as some would say they favored there own dog same could be said about who is over seeing the racing thats all. now as for cancer i have lost a good few family and friends from it and have a mate fighting leukemia atm and doing well and my cousins we lad has autism and we take him when ever we can to give them a break as does the rest of the family. its got nothing to do with hunting or charity what i said so please read the end of what i said in the first post

Danny dont be trying to get out of the situation you are in with your mouth.You and Fakename.I know you, but I also think you are using a second name called Fakename. Its all about Hunting and charities and shows. You have come out of hibernation and left your knitting at home and try and do all the harm you can to the dog shows and Racedays on this form. All the good Huntsmen and women around the country run quite a few shows and sponsor ship for charities you just mentioned including the club you are trying to discredit and run into the ground at the moment. The Hunting and Show scene do not want people like you with your attitude in their midst. You are a bully, and a big child. If you do not get things your way you throw your toys out of the pram. Go and grow up and do not be trying to destroy our summer Country Sport scene. I was involved in Country sports when you were still in nappies.Ride away into the sunset, and forget to come back.

Well said Margaret.. Its impossible to please everyone. There's alot more important things in life than coming on the internet to give off about something in my opinion. Personally I thought Sundays racing was ran brilliant and raised money for a very good cause. Just my opinion.

I was delighted to support the NILRC and the good cause for which this show was run. Unfortunately I had another dog club AGM commitment on Sunday so couldn't get.

 

I cannot see why a club member can't run his /her dogs at their own show - there can be no bias or subjective judgement involved. I would be less happy about Club members showing dogs at their own show as it could create criticism of the judges.

 

But can we not give the NILRC a little bit of slack to get the organisation up and running and functioning properly?

      The Keep er Lit Dog Show and Raceday Sunday 20th July 2025
      Doagh Equestrian is situated on the beautiful Antrim coast in the village of Doagh, Co Antrim. This was a new venue for the “Keep er Lit” Dog show and Race day and the ideal spot for   last Sundays Show.  
      From early morning, cars and trailers arrived from North and South of the border. Some people came as far away as Limerick and Drogheda with families and dogs in tow. Our good canine folk love a good dog show in the summer and a chat with like minded people. They certainly were not disappointed at the Keep er Lit show.  
      As the show progressed, so did the banter and the craic. The rings were well spaced out with a good long race track. Paul Boyd was there with his country sports stand, with everything needed in the hunting fraternity. 
      Some very tasty burgers were available on site and an Equestrian shop with great discounts on offer on the day. I had to take control of my retail therapy when I got into that shop, as I was like a child in a toy shop with to much to choose from.
      The weather was glorious all day and at times to warm. As usual the raffle generated a great buzz around the field with some great prizes on offer. 
      The show started with the racing first at approximately 12.30 
      Here are the Racing and Showing Results

      Congratulations to all above winners.
      And Finally, may I take this opportunity to thank the judges and their ring stewards on the day,on behalf of the Keep er Lit Team for a job well done.
      Strong Dog Judge : Gareth Barnett
      Lurcher Judge       : Gerard Melaugh
      Whippet Judge      : Colin Maguire
      Terrier Judge         : Martin Breen
      Pets Judge             : Gail Ross
      Judging is not an easy job, but you were consistent and fair, and very successful with the end product. 
      The racing was carried out as usual to perfection by The Mc Grath Racing Club Carlow. These people have many years experience in the Canine world both in showing and racing and their input helps to alleviate the pressure on the show organizer on the day. A job well done Biddy and team. 
      Some lovely photographs were taken on the day by various people, and no doubt these will be up on the site shortly.
      And Finally, Finally, they say behind every good man is a good woman and Leigh Thompson along with Paddy Gibson, you both definitely fitted into that category. Your show was run with impeccable organisation. It was evident on the day a lot of hard work and sleepless nights was put into  this now annual Show. Leigh and Paddy you pulled out all the stops on the day and produced a top class show in a top class venue. Well done and a credit to you both.
      I am Looking forward to more of the same in 2026. Thank you for the memories.To we meet again God Bless.
