Pictures from Todays Coursing can be seen here.....TRADAREE CC

Working Members

In their new field for the first time Tradaree were not given a easy time........The weather threw everything at them and they worked together like a military campaign.  and with a smile....

A problem with the escape saw a few hares refuse to go home but not one hare was knocked.......fantastic hare husbandry over seen by Jimmy McLaughlin .    The escape problem will be sorted for next season.......lets hope they see better weather .

Yet again we saw Richie Quinn jr show us that he is a young slipper with a very bright future.  I notice he took the trouble during the break , to check the turning circle  before the Finals......wanting to give us some turns but not wanting to risk injury to dogs.
