A smooth day, with all racing done by 4:30pm.
Unfortunately Freya and Breagh could not race, so Muttley was brought out of retirement to be dog 5.
All the dogs ran well, and Chewy (handled by Clare Butler from Bone Idol) did not run out once; some really close cross overs in the last race of the day as Lacey, Ruby, Alfie and Muttley got the measure of each other.
So, how did the Rebounds get on... lets check the "Andy predicts" results !.
I predicted we would loose to Dream Team, and we did, they kicked up a gear and went quicker.
Buccfly went quicker but we beat them (prediction 2 right !)
Tafs Turbos were good, went quicker... but by then we had found our groove and won (prediction 3 right !)
Foxes and Vixens had a bad day at the office, went slower and also had a dog handler taken ill... we won (prediction 4 right!).
Unfortunately the addition of a late team into seed 1 spot ruins my prediction of getting 2nd, the late team were very quick, breaking out once and winning all their races... this pushed Dream Team into 2nd and Rebounds into 3rd.
Interestingly the Rebounds set a new seed time of 20:80.... so almost a second quicker than last time.
All in all a good days racing and very relaxed :-)
Shannon and Lacey collected their Flyball Dog Advanced certificate; Jan and Ruby collected their Flyball Dog Graduate certificate (x2 mother and daughter teams !).
See you all at training on Saturday, looks like you will need rain coats !

Frogmore competition
The Rooky Rebounds will be competing this Saturday (20/10) indoors at Frogmore leisure centre.
A real mash up of dogs in the team this time !.
Freya, Alfie, Lacey and Ruby will make up the core team.
Breagh will be given the chance to race "open" for the very first time if the team go 2 up or 2 down during racing.
Chewy will be on standby.
And now for an "Andy Predicts" (not done this in a while !).
Being over a second quicker than us Dream Team are seeded first and should get first, but this team has a real swing of seed times, 20.67 being their quickest ever... will be close, but with this being the only Dream Team racing at Frogmore I think they will have the pick of their dogs and will go quicker still... RR loose.
.... Tafs Turbos raced the Rascals at Southridge and are getting quicker, but 21.35 is their best ever time, will be close... RR win
Foxes and Vixens are a small team, with a pool of dogs that have been getting slower all year, we have never lost to them and there is no reason to suggest we will loose again... RR win
Buccfly have been working hard to get their team running well, this group of dogs have been having a torrid time of things this year, but their latest seed time shows things are now starting to click, a mix of new and experienced dogs, they should keep improving, but will have it all to do, one to watch next year .... RR win
