Clogheen Senior Drag, 15/03/09

Hollyhill at 4pm
The seniors were slipped from Nashs Boreen heading toward the bog. Running along the bog heading for the first crossing at the haunted house, seen the obvious hounds 'Black and Tan', 'Magics Choice' and 'Newtown Raven', to name but a few of the pack, lead them across this road. From here they headed to the crossing at the sweet shops, vearing out toward Clogheen / Kerry Pike where we met them at the main Blarney Road crossing. Here the same hounds were leading, but the pack was slightly broken, probably because of fatigue.
From here the next road was the last road at the red gates. Michael Buckleys 'Newtown Raven' of Griffin United leaded them downhill and crossed this road first with 'Black and Tan', 'Duggans Lad', 'Magics Choice' in 4th and 'Quiet Lady' in 7th position. As they jumped the stream and climbed uphill through the rough before vearing right for the finish, this changed dramatically.

At the finish, it was a short call and 'Magics Choice' of Mayfield and 'Quiet Lady' of Fairhill battled it to the line. This was 'Quiet Lady' first run in the senior ranks after being promoted from her consistent wins the previous 3 weeks. Unfortunately, she couldn't make it 4 in a row, as Leslie Kepples 'Magics Choice' of Mayfield always has that bit more speed when the call goes up. So the honours went to Denise and Leslies' talented 'Magics Choice' of Mayfield who finished 1st, followed by Tristan O Herlihys 'Quiet Lady' of Fairhill.

1st Magics Choice, Mayfield
