KILFLYNN RESULTS

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.

I took a run down to Liscannor today........The weather stayed dry and a bit chilly.   The ground was the best ive seen it for a while now and  the hares were strong.

There were a few notable runs in the Trial stakes ....I liked the look of Crafty  Denso, Chaboy and Galeforce Wonder in the DTS.......alot of the bitch pups ran green but those showing well were Tilt Your Skirt and Car Road

Ill be heading off to Kilflynn in the morning......lets hope for another day of first class coursing.

Time Warp - Dog Drinking

FERMOY & GRANGE

You will also find a entry form on the website and there draw will be put up soon after the draw

Surfin´ Bulldog (Beach Boys - Surfin´ USA)

Nothing whatso ever to do with coursing.......but it makes you smile!

Hare coursing, Waterloo Cup verses hare shooting

The realities of the Ban in England...........not a easy video to watch as it concentrates on hares being killed to show just how indiscriminate the gun is.......Most people are under the impression that the gun is a kinder way to kill!

Thankfully the Hares in Ireland fare much better as it is a highly controlled sport.....and of course the dogs are muzzled

HARE SEMINAR 2011

With only two weeks before the season starts many coursing people attended this years Hare seminar.  It followed the usual pattern of sharing hare husbandry tips.....both old and new and gave clubs a chance to share experiences..... There has been a big stride forward in hare husbandry over the years and the yearly seminar has certainly helped with this.

John Curtin demonstrates the best way to hold a hare

The tour of the Hare Parks at Powerstown is a great way to catch up with improvements as every year there is something new.  Ive noticed a big drive for more covered feeding stations and this year all fencing has been  covered.  This not only helps to keep the fields more sheltered but stops hares injuring themselves on the fencing.

All fencing in the park is now covered ....both internal paddocks and the perimeter fence.

This provides shelter  security and helps prevent injuries to hares on the fence wire

DJ Histon explains to members a new style feeder being used

The use of cover feed areas is to be recommeded.  This is a example of a cheap and easy shelter

HARE SEMINAR

Not long before we all start again......Things have gone smoothly with the Hare catching Licences and reports so far are that hares are plentiful.   I had a days birdwatching on Sunday and saw more hares than birds!

here`s one I saw.....all were big fine hares brought on by a dry summer

Coursing starts 1st of October but before then we have the yearly Hare Seminar at Powerstown Park

SEPTEMBER 17th 2011

This is always worth attending.  Coursing people from all over the country pool their knowledge of hare husbandry and all things Coursing.  Plus a tour of facilities behind the  Clonmel Festival.

from Sporting Press



October is fast approaching and preparations are well underway at Liscannor and Kilflynn as the curtain is lifted on another coursing season. We all know that great hares make great coursing and with that in mind the third staging of the IRISH COURSING CLUB HARE SEMINAR will take place at Powerstown Park, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary on Saturday, September 17th commencing at 11.00am. 
To date, the seminar has been well attended with excellent participation from the floor coupled with live demonstrations of tagging, dosing and handling of the hare. We are sure this year will be no exception as we cover the main topics and discuss some new ideas also. The event will conclude with a tour of the hare parks in Powerstown and the boxing area. Light refreshments will be provided following the tour. 
Full details are being circulated to Club Secretaries who should then advise Eugene Cooney of the likely attendees from their club. 
Alternatively you can book your place at the Seminar by ringing Eugene @ 052 6188508 or e-mail eugene@sportingpress.ie

A Day with Dan O`Connor & Family

I spent a couple of days in Kerry last month and couldnt bypass the chance to visit Scartaglen, and see the O`Connor Family.

Dan and his family live for coursing, and are example of what makes the sport so special.

Just a ordinary family who all enjoy the same hobby and have fun together.

All the dogs are home bred and are kenneled  in the back garden.

March Is On was whelped there out of their own bitch Dedicated. Once the pups reach earmarking 

they are then passed on to good friend and partner in the dogs Paddy Fitzgerald (Glin) to be reared on.

the saplings then return to Dan for training.
