Report: Weather warm and fine and about time.

The downside of the warmer weather -fewer runners. But that didn’t deter from a good afternoons sport.

In the seniors the two bitches Dawn and Grace set the early pace but ,as reported from Mondays trail,   Celtic Malone was now a lot nearer the lead and consequently showed on the finishing meadow with a ‘few yards’ but she couldn’t contend with Dawns finishing speed and the Bassenthwaite hound notched up her first senior success. The two Eskdale hounds ‘Alfie and ‘Gable’ provided the best finish for seventh -‘gable’ won  much to the delight of ‘Liz’-  Alfie-‘ what’s it all about ‘you get nowt for seventh.

First its one then the other- Thorn Dancer–Daisy Dream and Bewitched -whose turn is it?. Yesterday it was ‘Dancer’s turn. She showed on the downhill trod with a good lead but ‘Daisy’ went into top gear and took up the lead entering the gate onto the final straight but she couldn’t hold off the strong finish of ‘Dancer’ and Bewitched wasn’t far back in third.

Garry Woodend’s Bant’s Mist won the pup maidens producing a finishing burst to overhaul ‘Yankee Doodle’ and Mystery Girl to win going away.

And in the final event 37 runners twelve more than the other three trails. Ian and Ann Bell’s Burneside hound Howgill Blondie beat Joanna and Martins Kentmere hound Thorn Dolly by five yards- a bit of a local battle on the fields of Kirkland.
