I run two Nurserydogs, Skid a son of Jim, he had a very good OLF, little prob on the drive with two sheep wanting to run away all the time, he handled them well, pleased with him. Tom, a son of K Evans Moss, run very well, he had 75 p after the pen and I walked of before the shed,
Lotta run Bell, eleven month old, she run very well, nice all around the course, she will be ready for the nursery.

Sheep was tricky, dif flocks every day. Cross ewe the first day, running hard and not easy at all, only two went thru to the team. Moss run really well to the pen there one ewe did him and I ret. Net gripped at the pen. Second day, cheviot ewes, good on the course but still dif at close work, six went thru to the team. Third day, cross ewe again, ok on the course, still dif in close work. Kate didn’t run as well as she have done the latest weeks, so not good enough for her. Davey run well, one dif ewe but he handled her well, pilot error at the cross drive gate and I missed it, but a good finish saved us and we ended up on a 10th place and made the team for the fifth time in a raw. Davey have now made the team four times, he’s doing well for me.
Big congrats to Scottish national champ John McKillop with Joe. Congrats to Scottish national brace champion Peter Martin. Also congrats to his son Steven Martin as runner up in the brace and now he have to keep that “bastard” for some time. Well done all other how made the team.
Lotta did very well at Isle of Man.
Kate run well in the qualifying and also in the final.
She ended up as runner up after Richy Hughington with Sweep. Nigel Watkins on third place.
We went done to Wales for the Champion of Champion.
One competitor from Wales, Ireland, England and Scotland.
First a trial on the open course, a very smal field, but tricky enough.
Davey run well and won that trial.
Judge for both of them was Alun Jones.

Then we had the main event on the main ring. Again a small course, heavy sheep, OLF, drive, maltesercross, shed, pen and a singel.
Davey did well again and won that too.
The maltesercross was a big problem, but Davey did well there.
