Report : A fine night ,a typical September evening, competitive trails although a bit on the short side.

The senior trail and as they turned towards the finishing fields were we in for a surprise as Canny Girl was ‘driving’. But ‘Arnie’ and Tommy took over with Prudence stalking them. As they reached the bottom of the first meadow it was head to head -Tommy and Prudence and these two battled it out to the line where ‘ladies first’ by a head, Arnie was third and a canny run in fourth.

The puppy trail and a high class field where the placings were determined by how you negotiated the turn into the final two meadows. The juniors split into two groups, ones that were right turned left and the ones that were wrong went straight. Santino gave Persian Bay a race  and was closing the gap but ‘Bay’ held on for her fifteenth win.

The restricted trail was dominated by Two Tone and Barton, the former gaining the upper hand in the final few yards to win by half a length.

Now, the biggest smile of the night and a medal for perseverance Denis Reay — Hunters got round.
