All Ireland Winter League

Final Round

We were very lucky with the weather for the last round of the All Ireland Winter League. It was great to see a good turn out and Liam O'Brien set a couple of flowing courses with just enough of a challenge to keep people on their toes. Karen and Tess won the Medium Agility round, giving this team a positive experience before they head off to the WAO championships next month.

Celtic Winners Championship Show

St Patrick's Day

Alan Bray set good flowing, uncomplicated courses for the Green Star Classes and the standard classes, surprising competitors who had been watching the extremely testing courses at Crufts the previous week. However, mistakes were still easily made by even our best handlers, so Karen Bleakly and Tess deserve to be congratulated on winning the Green Star Medium Championship.
