Michael Forde Memorial Drag 30/08/09

Seniors crossing at the boothouse

Mayfield hosted the Michael Forde Memorial drag at Whites Cross. The crossing at the boothouse bar seen Clogheens 'Not Now Man' driving at a very fast pace, leading this road a full field clear of his followers. Frankie Allens 'Tallyman' came 2nd with a bit of law on the group of hounds behind him. At the last road, they would cross this and enter into the finishing field. It was very tense as now it was John Callaghans 'Is It It' of Southern Harriers and Tim O Callaghans 'Ted Baker' of Fairhill kneck in kneck to the tape. It was a tough decision for 1st place and the judges, after studying the camera, decided on a dead heat. However, Fairhill objected to this decision and the judges drove off to double check this on a tv. After an anxious age of waiting they returned with 1st place going to Tim Callaghans 'Ted Baker' of Fairhill just getting half a head in front of John Callaghans 'Is It It' of Southern Harriers.
