Irish National Championship 2024

Huge thanks to judge Johannes Eitler (SV/SVÖ) helpers John Dolan (OG Corrib) and Brian Reidy (OG Waterside) and tracklayer Raimondas Simaitis (OG Thomond).

Thanks also to the obedience group, those who supplied dummy dogs, and all those OG Templepatrick members for organising such a great event at short notice and for providing catering and refreshments.

To all the landowners, trophy and prize sponsors, raffle sponsors, all who donated to the event, to all the spectators who came to watch and of course the competitors for their sportsmanship.

Brian Reidy was awarded the Alvin Davis Cup for sportsmanship and dedication to GSA Ireland.

We wish the Irish team the best of luck at the WUSV World Championships in October.

More details to follow.
