Both days were run in woodland and although the recent snow had flattened some of the cover there was still ample game for the dogs to show their ability. The first and second places in the open were very closely matched and the judges said it was a hard decision to split them.
There was a run off in the novice stake between the dogs in 2nd and 3rd place. The senior judge said they wanted to see both dogs again but decided that both dogs needed to up a gear before they were ready for open stakes so no first place was awarded.
Thank you to Richard Preest and the Badminton Estate for allowing us to trial on that lovely spaniel ground. Also, thank you to the keepers, judges, guns and all the helpers who all helped to make both days very successful. Finally thanks to all the competitors who helped make the days enjoyable for everyone by providing a jovial and sporting atmosphere.
