Chipping Norton Agility & The Chilterns Flyball

This weekend our club was represented at both Chipping Norton Agility show and The Chilterns Flyball Tournament. In Agility Katheryn and her ESS Jess achieved their first clear round in 1-7 agility so huge congratulations to them, Clare & Charlie (GSD) had a clear round in both 1-7 touch and go and jumping and a 13th place in 1-3 agility, again congratulations. Also we must mention Anne and Crafty (Boxer) on achieving a clear set of 12 weaves for the first time in competition, Crafty and Anne's confidence grows with each show so very well done.
Flyball - the Brickyard Bandits came second in Division 4 this week with a new PB of 19.97 seconds, this is a huge achievement for this new team who have 2 inexperienced dogs and handlers. I'm sure this new seed time will push them up to division 2 or 3 in time for Shackerstone in September.

Brickyard Bandits Flyball Team

The Bandits are competing on Saturday 12th July in Rotherham, Last night the team had their final practice - The Bandits team consists of Myself (Emma) and my daughter Amy with two of our collies Maisy & Dylan and Jo & Nige from Mali-Mania fame with their Mali's Ronny & Keisha, also Jo's mum.



Training started off a little hectically with Keisha deciding she only wanted to run for her mum and Dylan deciding crossovers are just too scary especially when your faced with a 30 kilo mali racing full throttle towards you!! so with a few tweaks we were happy with our final line up and have our final line up for Saturday:



First Dog - Ronny handled by Nige

second dog - Maisy handled by Amy

third dog - Keisha handled by Jo

forth Dog - Dylan handled by Emma

Reserve dog - Ben

Boxloader - Jo's Mum (watch those knees)
