Acremead points are up…

… no movers or shakers, just a solid points haul from most dogs.

Ruby (Young) and Mist are now over half way to getting their Flyball Dog awards.

Stockbridge points next…. but the next awards should come after the Champs points come in.

Stockbridge, clouds and silver linings…

The Rebounds and Racers went off to Stockbridge.

Chewy, Muttley, Juno, Ozzy, Tosca in the Rebounds

Milly, Harry, Benji, Alfie, Summer in the Racers

Rebounds raced on Saturday and had a torrid time, finally getting a running order that worked in the afternoon.

Won 3, lost 2 and came 3rd overall … so not a bad result considering we were seeded last, we even beat the Dons !

The Dons	243	22.01
Essex Extras	229B	22.24
Shooting Star Rebels	001D	22.82
Fantastic 4 Fire Balls	214C	22.99
Buccaroos	025B	23.51
Rooky Rebounds	202B	23.69

We had problems with the box triggering, but after speaking with Delta Flyball team, who have the same box as us, we have made a few adjustments … should be running sweet as a nut at the champs for low hitting dogs like Tosca and Lacey.

Sunday was much better, Summer, Alfie, Harry and Benji doing the most of the racing, set a great time of 19.26.

Seeded forth in tough division

Kennet Specials	198K	19.64
Lightning Hurricanes	217N	19.70
Up and Running Ricochets	289A	19.83
Rooky Racers	202	19.94
Up and Running	289	20.02
Essex Express	229A	20.13

But came first after winning 5 out of 5 !, great result!… just need to do that at the Champs in two weeks time !

Rooky Racers Skitttles night

On Saturday 21st July, Berkshires finest flyball and skittles players lined up at the Jack O Newbury pub in Binfield for a fun  night of food, drink and the world play-off of skittles.

With our own separate bar and food laid on, we were set for a great night.

3 teams of  6 were selected and each team played 6 legs of 3 bowls each against the other.

After much hilarity, and some spectacular googlies by some, the final results were:

Team Banoffee Sundae - 7.5 points - 1st place
Team Bantam Bees - 6.5 points - 2nd place
Team Wiggly Bums - 5.5 points - 3rd place

Here are these world class players in action  ;-)   :-

Barbury Castle Points are in… Movers and Shakers

We had the Raiders and Racers running at Barbury.

Not quiet the country show I was hoping for …  but my wife was addicted to the cross country horse trials … I have a feeling that we might return next year !

First some big news …

Alfie gained his Flyball Dog Advance award at Barbury (5000 points)… and although we have dogs in the team with more points, these were built up with different teams… Alfie is our first real Rooky Racer, he has been with the team from the start and is our first dog to get FDA !… nice going Nigel, Diane and Alfie !

Then…. (28th April 2009)…Can you spot him ?!

Now !

Other movers and shakers…

Harry gets Flyball Dog Intermediate (1000 points) good work Val and Harry !

Sassy is now within 35 points of getting Flyball Dog Graduate (3000 points).
