Trial Results: Novice Cocker at Noseley, Leicestershire

Today we held the first of our spaniel trials of the season, our Novice Cocker, at the Noseley Estate. We were kindly hosted by The Wilkinson Family, and ably assisted during the day by the keepers, Jamie and Aaron, and their helpers.

Our thanks go to our superb judges, John Crawford and Craig Lewis. We must also thank our game carriers and dog stewards, Alan Hopkins-Young, Tom Hopkins-Young, Helen Dilworth and Lyn Doubleday. Our sponsors for our spaniel trials this season are Dog & Field and we are very grateful for their ongoing support.

We had a spectacular array of weather, and despite a thorough soaking, everyone was in good spirits and glad to be out again competing with their dogs.

After a run off for first place, our results were as follows:

1st: Craiwarn Tinkers Serenade, Mrs Natalie Cannon
2nd & GC: Normicky Elsie, Mr M Farrish
3rd: Baildonmoor Bielsa, Mr Paul Deal
4th: Poolgreen Kizzie, Mr Will Clulee

CoMs: Farlavale Ebor - Mr Ryan Kay, Jadenmoss Magnificent Opal at Skipmeg - Mr CJ & Mrs YL Mackender, handled Mr Carl Colclough, Marshkeepers Wasp - Mr Andy Fletcher
