South Western League Match

V. Stoke Bishop Dog Training Club.

24th February, 2013

Well it was not to be a win for us but nevertheless we had a very enjoyable afternoon for our last match of the season. With some notable happenings at times. In Elementary Monty did some superb heelwork but was stressed too much by the atmosphere and froze on his recall, tiny little Phoebe on her debut for us blew us all away with her attitude and fantastic recall. In Beginners Harvey pulled himself together and did a much improved round having been still on holiday in Elementary! Lola decided she had to see off something that was bothering her outside a door to the side of the hall but Vicky managed things perfectly with a well time command which Lola reacted to put things right, and Dotty was a little below par today but made no major errors. In Novice Lundy was piloted round beautifully and won us a 2nd, while Lark and Gina did nothing really wrong but could have been better all round.  Kenzie did a very capable A and finished with a nice scent while Roy did a slight variation on the recall and cut across to spin in to heel from in front, very inventive.  And Carina did us proud in B.

All in all a very happy match, and a lovely tea, and I am sure everyone had some positive things to come away with - I personally learn something everytime I work a round. All the dogs were happy and though they were not very enamoured of the hall and the matting on the floor they did us proud.  The score was 24 - 19 to Stoke Bishop who produced some really good handling and super work from their dogs.

South Western League Match

V. Burnham on Sea Dog Training Club.

27th January, 2013

An enjoyable and friendly match. A superb tea provided by the club members. What a good day it was for us.  We won four of the five classes and came out on top with 24 -19. Well done team Chelt for some much improved individual work - a couple of stay breaks which were disappointing but to work as they did in a strange hall our Elementary and Begninner dogs did us proud this time with Harvey and Dotty winning their classes, and Monty putting up a reliable show for his first time in the team.

They gave us a good start which was followed by Lundy and Kenzie taking the top spots in Novice and A.  One more to go - Let's go onwards and upwards.

6th January, 2013

An enjoyable and friendly match. A superb tea provided by the club members. From the work point of view things did not go our way today and the result was a win for Stoke Bishop of 24 - 19. We put up as good a fight as we could but accidents do happen!!  One or two of our dogs were a little too relaxed to take it seriously and one or two others - - - well - life is full of surprises!!  Well done all for trying so hard - we must get our act together on the return match and see if we can reverse the decision.

South Western League Match

V. Burnham on Sea Dog Training Club.

16th December, 2012

Again a close match but with the advantage on our side as it was a home match. Burnham had a couple of unfortunate breaks of stays and this time we did not.  What an enjoyable match it was. Many congratulations to our team members for putting up such a consistent performance. Mary Siddall from South Cotswold judged for us and once more Kristi Fitzgerald did a sterling job as steward. Despite being down by a couple of points early on the result was a win for us 25 - 18. Club members provided a superb tea which was much appreciated by all.

South Western League Match

V. Bristol Dog Training Club.

9th December, 2012

Bristol triumphed but by only one mark. We were even 5 all after Elementary,  they were up by 4 points after Beginners, our Novices were level so we were still 4 down going into A.

Lark says she's sorry the sit in heelwork caught her out and this meant we could only draw level with them in A, which left Roy to show them how it's done with his win in B. 

A couple of 'if onlys'and we had to concede victory to Bristol.  On checking our marks last year one of our matches against them resulted in a win a win for us by a single mark.

A close one and a very enjoyable afternoon.

Carina's winning Sendaway.

         A win for us and it seems as if it were quite an easy one, the final score being 27 - 16,

but it would only have taken a couple of reversals of places, a stay break or a scent failure and things would have been quite different.

We had no broken stays and no scent failures.

What an excellent team.

The Ten Teams Rally.

13th May 2012

Held at Stoke Playing Fields, Bristol, and hosted by Bristol Dog Training Club.

A dry and sunny day. Four rings were set out on this large level field in which for us to do our best to get that winners' shield. Was there ever any doubt?

With this Team?

The team.  L. to R.

Kenzie, Roy, Carina, Carney, Harvey, Lark, Dotty, Lundy and Dash.

The team from each club consists of Three Special Beginners, Three Novices, Two Class A dogs and One Class B Dog.

The results are worked out by adding all marks lost, the team with the least being the winners.

Our team was:-

Special Beginners - Kate Claxton with Dotty, Sara Lewis with Harvey and Babs Sharp with Dash.

Novice - Glenis Charles with Lundy, Claire Stewart with Carney and Janet Martineau with Lark.

Class A - Barbara Colledge with Roy and Emma Hagan with Kenzie.

Class B - Maria Carter with Carina.

Everyone worked as hard as they could to put in good rounds and what a good result we had.

Congratulations to us all.

Especially to to Maria who came 1st in B, Barbara who came 4th in A, Glenis who came 1st in Novice,

Janet was 5th in Novice,Sara who was 2nd and Kate who came 4th in Beginners.

Cheltenham as a team lost 63 points and our nearest rivals were Bath Alsatian Training club who lost 85 1/2.

The other five teams were into three figures so we equipped ourselves very well and came home with the shield

which will go to be engraved with our achievement.

This Rally is run each year in aid of a charity chosen by the host club - so far they have collected £1,800 for the Assistance Dogs charity.

A win for us but the closest yet. 

We were level before Class A so there was all to play for and the result was a win for us by one point after Class B.

Congratulations to all team members. I was greatly relieved to get the final text from Claire!

We have now won 5 out of the 6 matches but we won't know for certain that we have come top in the league until the League AGM on April 5th. We did!!!

South Western League Match

V. Stoke Bishop DogTraining Club.

5th February,2012

    Well done our team, another valiant effort - there was some very good work done and everyone learned something as one always does when competing in this game of ours.

It was an enjoyable and amusing match, and a lovely tea - but not quite the result we were hoping for.

   The scoring went along the same lines as the previous match.

The Elementary dogs did us proud and the score was 5 - 5 in points.

Then came the Beginners and things didn't go as they might have done, but that's the dog game for you. Their score was 3 - 7 to Stoke Bishop.

Our Novices did their level best and came out 5 - 5, so we went into Class A four points down just as last time.

Kenzie and Lark ended up equal first and a tossed coin gave Kenzie first so we were 7 - 3 up there and so once more equal points before B.

As it happened Maria and Carina despite a very good try ended up just three points behind and in second place.  So there we were. Stoke Bishop winning 22 - 21.

One more to go - I shall be waiting with my mobile at the ready as I shan't be able to be there for the final match.

29th January, 2012

Once again well done our team! But even closer than last time.

We were on a par in Elementary, then Bristol had a very good run in Beginners and we were down 12 - 8.

Our Novices were level so the score then was 17 - 13 to them - so it all depended on our A's and B. And luck was on our side.

Bristol had to field a Beginner Dog in A, and didn't he do well in the round but he changed his mind in scent and brought in the wrong cloth.For once Lark got it right without forgetting to sit!! And Maria with Carina did a super B to clinch it for us.

The final score being a win for us 22 - 21

Here are our first prize winners.

Well done team Chelt.

We were two points up in Elementary, equal after Beginners and equal again after Novice and were a couple of points up after Class A.

Unfortunately for them Woodspring could not field a Class B dog so we had a couple more points there - Maria and Ella being given a bye - the final score being a win for us 23 - 20.
