The season kicked of to a good start with a first class card at Kilflynn. The going was testing and this couldnt have made things easy for young Slipper David Galvin who was slipping his first full meeting. However he made a very good job of judging hares in tricky conditions and looks set to have a very bright future in the sport.
Its always a pleasure to start the season in Kilflynn.......a great friendly club who runs things like clockwork and always attracts good class dogs.
