Directors Challenge Whippet v under 21" Novice Lurcher

1 Rose McCoy with Kyro (Lurcher )

2 Leeroy McCullough with Tizer (Whippet)

3 Brian Crothers with Nell (Lurcher)

This was my challenge and the definition of Novice Lurcher may not have been clear - I meant a lurcher that had never won any race. The first and third placed dogs had won small races and while they gained their place in a fairly run race and as such could and should not be disqualified I felt that Leeroy's dog Tizer deserved the title of champion

Tom Barry has asked me to thank everyone who helped on the day and for everyone's sportsmanship

I thought all the guys ran the racing very well and didnt have any problems from them on the day. Great to receive the title of something which was your own idea Albert ( a good one at that! ) as i own both lurchers and a whippet and i alway enjoy watching them run together ? thanks again to everyone involved!
