Ireland Qualifiers For Great Game Fairs Of Ireland Events

[AlbertJ 569]

In 2013 we organised

 

1.A hugely successful Master McGrath Challenge at the Irish Game Fair at Shanes Castle

 

2. A brilliant FIVE NATIONS LURCHER CHAMPIONSHIP at the Irish Game & Country Fair at Birr Castle where Fiona Devlin's Maverick defended his title and qualifies again for 2014.

 

3. A fantastic FIVE NATIONS TERRIER CHAMPIONSHIP at the Irish Game & Country Fair at Birr Castle where Dodge a top English terrier won against very strong opposition.

 

AND of course we ran the 26th annual ALL IRELAND TERRIER & LURCHER CHAMPIONSHIPS to award the titles All Ireland Lurcher Racing Championa ; All Ireland Terrier Racing Champion and the All Ireland Whippet Racing Champion plus the equivalent show titles including the Best in Show being the ALL IRELAND CHAMPION. We also ran equivalent ROI championships at the Birr Fair.

 

For 2014 the 27th ALL IRELAND CHAMPIONSHIPS will be organised by Keiran Young and his team and the ROI Championships by Shane Lee and his team. I will be working closely with them on the Master McGrath qualifiers and the Five Nations Qualifiers.

 

AND we ARE DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE a NEW FIVE NATIONS WHIPPET CHAMPIONSHIP but this will be staged at SHANES CASTLE on the 28th & 29th June 2014. The other two Five Nations Championships will be staged at Birr on the 23/24 August 2014. Prizes for the challenges will be similar to 2013.

 

I am now open to receive applications from organisers of shows in NI, ROI, England, Scotland and Wales for qualifiers for their shows taking place in the rest of 2013 and in 2014. Please call me or email me details of your show to irishgamefair@btinternet.com

 

Please note : We will be restricting the number of NI Qualifiers so if you want to have a qualifier please apply early.

Delighted to hear that you have decided to go ahead with a NEW FIVE NATIONS WHIPPET CHAMPIONSHIP in 2014 Albert ............ whippets are a truly versatile little breed who have increased in popularity lately, at many of the shows I have been to over the past couple of years the whippet numbers have well exceeded those of terriers. I shall look forward to hopefully getting a dog qualified, lol!!

LJ, We will be delighted to have suggestions for qualifying shows from NI, ROI , England, Scotland and Wales for this inaugural Championship - I have been asked why it is at Shanes - the answer is that I have underwritten myself so I don't have to bring the rest of the team along. While they fully support my efforts on the other championships we have in place exciting new innovations for the gundogs, clay pigeon shooting and angling and have to budget for them

Well all I can say mate is ,One of my own "handbag" dogs has put a good honest couple of shifts in, both day and night this weekend as you can testify. And he still had the energy to do a couple of victory laps round the fields when he caught them .Ill need a150ltr Bergen rucksack handbag soon to carry the rabbits in ,,(neon orange ) of course Glad I got Nicky the new pup to keep her feet warm this winter,, cause" Bolt the machine" is most definitely mine now. Caught her on checking him for cuts and grass stains on his white socks this morning :D she still thinks he is for showing god love her

You two have got it all wrong,,,when I bought my last handbag it was a free whippet with it,,,,not the other way round

[vermin catcher 219]

And ill leave you two twats with these words of wisdom " IF ITS NOT A WHIPPET YOU JUST OWN A DOG!!!!! " over and out

It's going to be some five nations with these nervous neurotic wee skitters.

 

I'll settle for my two " dogs ". lol

[AlbertJ 569]

Would Bri, Dazzam and Vermon Catcher be suitable as the three judges for this Whippet championship?

ive always said Dazzam and Up the beam were a bit strange,,,but to say they are nervous neurotic wee skitters is a bit cheeky Bri. And the last time your "dogs" seen a rabbit, they were sitting with you on your settee watching the Discovery Channel or Animal Planet. :D
