Report. The third and final trail meeting at the ever popular Bower House venue situated in the centre of the Eskdale Valley, home to Laal Ratty,  the Steeles, Crowes, Poss, John Brom, uncle Tom Cobbly and all.

And , the star of the show, “Benny” Not! Crossroads or “Hill ” but Cuckoo Lane who won all senior trails and on that point the times for the three events. 29.31 – 27. 47-  28.  02  . And a more reliable guide the third and fourth trail.16.10-  15.52- 16.32 15.37  16.10, a variation of 55 seconds only.

Monday night and the weather ,very kind, warmer than Saturday but not as warm as it was in the pub on Saturday evening , for confirmation see Tony.

The seniors and just 12 runners , and the disappointment of the race was the ” Major ”  , after having nearly won on Saturday , retuned to his Last seasons antics of “coming Back” .  The door was left open to Cuckoo lane and in a “cracking” finish he beat Jenny’s Aura and Best Mate.

The puppy trail and another winner in Nicola and  Stuart’s  Prospect Spring   showing pre – season promise he beat Kinniside Jack who in most eyes probably beat himself, a half a length was the winning distance. Did anybody hear the shout of the Teas are on me! or was it a dream ?

Two hounds finished well clear in the last event Artemis winning by ten metres from  Copperfield who is generally referred to as” Knob “Ed ” for reasons only his owner knows!

Thanks to all concerned , trailers Ian, Tony. Mark ,and Jackson, John on the gate, scouts and catchers  and most of all yourselves!
