On Saturday 9 November we ran our first Novice Field Trial of the 2024/25 season, a 14 dog AV Retriever Driven Trial at Spellow Hill by kind permission of Yorkshire Field Sports and Darren Carter.
Thanks go to the judges: David Haycock, Philippa Williams, James Christon and Tom Birchall.
As always clubs could not run these events without helpers who give up their day to enable members to run their dogs, Graham Slater, Mike Birchall, Phil Smithies and Jane Burniston were brilliant spotters and game carriers, whilst Steve Cox and Steve Probert provided the dogs to clear the ground once the competitors moved on.
Thank you to the guns who provided a good number of birds on the two drives enabling the trial to run smoothly with plentiful retrieves.
Lastly, thank you to Roger Skinner who has sponsored Three Ridings events throughout the year providing the award winners with vouchers for feed.
The results are as follows:
1st Lynda Carr with Glenfia Skipper - receiving the Three Ridings Silver Rose Bowl, Keepsake Trophy and the first winner of a Club Baseball Hat.
2nd Tina Bateman with Griffontee Believe in Love - receiving the Thongholm Cup and keepsake trophy
3rd Godfrey Lowe withHephzibah Queen of the Night - receiving a Silver Cup and keepsake trophy
4th Andrew Dann with Thalasgair Lady of the Gun.
The competitors were supportive and in good spirits despite the constant drizzle, thank you for supporting Three Ridings Labrador Club.
