    Very tiring day at Drax, but it’s always a well run competition and even with three rings and a minor medical emergency that shut down one of the rings at the end of the day, we were still heading home for 7pm. Definitely confirmed my feelings about winter tournaments though, I hate being cold and…

    I did not really find this format confusing or tiring like everyone else apparently did. It was fun! Much better for the dogs as well, they had long breaks between racing and could therefore race fresh. It was baking hot so that was appreciated all round, I think. Both our teams came out as bottom…

    We did not have a very successful day at Drax. Mollie’s team chose to go NFC rather than withdraw after super height dog Bails got injured this week. Unfortunately this is a problem with a team consisting primarily of Veteran dogs; if any one of them gets injured, then the whole team struggles. Obviously with…

    Didn’t enjoy this tournament – the weather was good and the Rotherham hosts were as wonderful as ever, but I couldn’t get my head in the game. The most fun we had was sitting and chatting as a team, racing never really seemed to happen. The girls ran well but not brilliantly, but that’s about…

    It’s been a while since we last flyballed, and much longer since we were running on grass, let alone at Drax! Kim was back in Division 6 and the second team, where she belongs! We had hoped to take a strong 5-dog team but unpredictable entire bitches coming into season meant our fifth dog was…

    I am already regretting entering anything over the winter. I always forget about the cold, and the dark, and the cold. Kim was running with the second team, Hawk, and after a small series of minor disasters our lovely 5-dog team was down to an equally-lovely but slightly unpredictable 4 dog team. Kim and Brooke…

    My first Drax. Events have always conspired against us in previous years, and we’ve never made it. Well, we kind of made it via Rotherdrax, but I’m not sure that counts! I warned everyone Kim wasn’t at all fit for solid racing, but due to one of the bottom team dogs coming into season, we…
