Laurencetown Dog Show and Race Day Saturday29.5.22.
Laurencetown is a small village that sits along the main road between the towns of Gilford and Banbridge. Its beautiful countryside and green elevated hills made the perfect setting for the Laurencetown Dog Show and Race Day Saturday 29.5.22.
From the dulcet tones of “Alexa” calling time, and the echo of the dawn chorus ringing in my ears, it was mother natures way of getting us to get out of bed and on the road to Laurencetown Dog Show.
We were blessed with the weather for a change. The sun shone for most of the day, as the Canine men, women and their little folk arrived in force with their prized Canine crew in tow. With Covid hopefully sent packing, it was evident from the turnout at Sundays show how popular our Country Sports Shows have become and are firmly back on the map again both North and South of the border again.
The venue was brilliant with the rings well spaced out, plenty of ringside parking and a racecourse to die for. The Raffle as usual generated quite a lot of excitement, and many happy punters went home with some lovely prizes.
The wee people were out in strength on Sunday and played around happily on the freshly mown grass under the watchful eye of the proud parents, and afterwards showed their beautiful Canine Pooches in the ring. These young men and women are our Country Sports people of tomorrow and will carry on the Country Sport pursuits long after we have gone beyond the clouds. So it pays off to start them young. There was a burger stand there with very nice food and other goodies for the children.
Very soon it was Racing and Showing time. Here are the Results :
