We were a bit short on dog power this weekend…………only 4 dogs in each team…………Allsorts had Katie, Archie, Spencer & Meg, and Hotdogs had Tess (who had been stiff earlier in the week due to a collision with Spencer), Tosh , Molly (who knows what Molly will do!!) and Alfie .
Allsorts were seeded 4 in Div 3, in what looked like a tight Division on times. The weather wasn’t too bad, and all the dogs ran well. They achieved a fantastic best time of 19.95, and came 3rd in their Div, having been in joint 2nd place with 2 other teams. Again, thanks to Peter &Wendy for he following results:
Race 1: Allsorts ‘v’ Racing Herts – won 3-0, best time 20.06
Race 2: Allsorts ‘v’ Maple Leaf Stampede – Won 3-?, best time 19.95
Race 3: Allsorts ‘v’ Aces Rapids – Lost, best time 19.95
Race 4: Allsorts ‘v’ Knights – Lost, best time 26.95 – Harvey managed to get a few lights (after his lunch time kip! As did Pete, when Spencer returned munching a ball)
Race 5: Allsorts ‘v’ Extrabuccs – Won 3-?, best time 20.56
Evening entertainment in Peter &Wendy’s awning didn’t finish until the early hours…………it has been discovered that Dave lies in bed laughing over his skinny little pigeon legs………..and Jeff & Marilyn were discovered giggling by their garden gate, ‘cos they couldn’t get in……………..just how much did they have to drink??
Sunday…………it rained & rained & rained………….Tess & Tosh was sound, Molly behaved and Alf was Alfie!
Race 1: Hotdogs ‘v’ Marsh Cheetahs – Won 3-0, best time 20.36
Race 2; Hotdogs ‘v’ Barkshire Bandidos – Won 3-2, best time 20.03
Race 3: Hotdogs ‘v’ Ball Busters – Lost 1-3, best time 20.27
Race 4: Hotdogs ‘v’ Swifts – Lost 2-3, best time 19.77
Race 5: Hotdogs ‘v’ Hampshire Harriers – Lost 0-3, best time 20.37
Apart from racing the Hampshire Harriers, all racing was close. Alfie gained his Silver Award, so well done to Marilyn, Jeff & Alfie. We came 4th in Div 2, best time 19.77
But that wasn’t the end to the day…………Jeff locked his keys in the boot of the car, so Jeff & Marilyn and I waited until 10.10pm for the AA to turn up (I had just about given up waiting,…..). Dave had a flat battery, and for the 3rd(?) time this year, Peter's caravan was towed off the field (actually, I think he managed it by himself at Loseley Park)
