Report.  Dare I say , but it was a fine night and it is a shame that the dog trials were cancelled. Nevertheless the show must go on and the trails did and the spectators were treated to three excellent finishes.

The  seniors got off to a late start doe to a breakdown on the A591 a number of hounds and spectators were held up and those who had time to take in the local scenery would have seen the “Gatepost ” bent but not shaken.

Three hounds came with a good lead and the poignant shout of Lady, Lady, Lady wer

e heard but to no avail as Jenny’s Aura had to much toe up the hill and she beat former kennelmate Jenny’s Delight by a length.

The juniors and an intriguing clash between Major and Shadow by any means the top two pups of the season. Huntsman’s Major turning out for the second day in a row had no answer to Miterdale’s finish and once more He beat Major, in a head to head race, by half a length, Overwater Stanley and Cuchulainn were close behind in third and fourth.

The maiden trail was won by Persian Prince , putting Ian Bell in the winning enclosure close behind was the Wilson’s of Troutbeck with Highness seeking that elusive first win.
