CARRIGTWOHILL MEETING, 17TH OF MAY 08

PUPPY TRAIL:

The Puppy line up on Saturday, 17/05/08 where the 25 puppy hounds were slipped at 4pm.



Carrigtwohill held their annual meeting at Araglen, Fermoy.



It was a good start yet a few dogs went high of the hunt when setting out the first few fields but eventually joined on the hunt and turned out to be quite an exciting race. Reports from the road suggested that Keneallys dog & Jimmy Careys dog were part of the leading hounds crossing the one and only road after approx 10.30 mins. Coming on the finish,when the hounds showed coming off a steep hill, it was anyones race. They came on to the flat to race up a wide path to the finishing tape. There was a good view and call to the finish where 'Crafty Jack', owned by Gerry Kenneally of Southern Harriers, stepped up to take 1st place followed closely by clubmate 'Foxy Jack' to take the 2nd ticket and the third ticket went to 'Jackson' of Northern United. Overall the pack of hounds finished very closely together, timed at 18mins, 30secs.

Re-run will be held at same location, on Tuesday at 7:30pm.



Below are the first 6 places from left to right.

SENIOR HOUNDS, SUNDAY 17TH OF MAY.

The seniors were slipped at Araglen, Fermoy at 4pm on Sunday. Unfortunately, because of the time, the executive commitee decided to void the senior drag as Gary Freynes dog finished with a 3 minute clearance on the rest of the hounds at 19 minutes, followed by Michael John Buckleys 'Merlin' who finished at 21 minutes. However as this was under time the commitee declared this drag void.

Instead, this drag will be run again at the re-run on Wednesday evening at 7:30pm, where double the points and double the prize money will be at stake.
