Results of Open trials on Sunday 12th of July, in aid of Mayo Hospice, hosted by Michael Hastings.
Thank you to Michael for hosting and to his great team who had plenty of water out for the dogs. A challenging course with the wind making some dogs unable to hear on certain parts of the course and sheep that were especially difficult to pen. Thanks go also to Tom Gill for judging the first trial and Michael Oliver Moran the second. Apologies on my part for the late posting of results.
