What an incredible first tournament of the year we had at Ryton with Molten Magnets.
First shout is to our foundation dogs Storm, Neil & Kegs, these boys were absolutely amazing, holding their technique and starting to show what they are going to deliver once they are ready for open racing, their progress this winter is so exciting π
Next up was Howling 4 Balls: Yara, Flo, Inka & super sub Dodge! Yara is making amazing progress at the very start of her Flyball career and really getting excited for the game. Flo, Inka & Dodge ran great, so well that they completely smashed the seed time and broke out massively and got Flo her first team times under 18seconds ππ
Raging 4 Balls came 2nd in Division 2: Nell, Mayhem, Rory & Havoc, this team is really starting to gel together and managed to set a new team record of 15.99 ππ All the dogs are getting used to the Tuffspun and Havoc is really settling in with his new handler Andrew.
Finally we had Barking 4 Balls racing in Division 1: Creed, Roo, Keo & Solo. These dogs are really starting to develop with the young dogs Roo & Creed getting used to racing at their first and second BFA tournaments and Keo and Solo looking great. Together this team smashed our club record setting an incredible 14.71 with some even more exciting times on the clock that didnβt quite make it #whatyoucouldhavedone π€£π€£
Absolutely canβt wait for the rest of this season with the best group of friends and some incredible dogs who do me proud every day

Massive thanks to Nuneaton Flyers for a fab weekend at Newark.
Saturday saw Yara and Storm making their open debuts running on Howling 4 Balls and doing amazingly well showing a glimpse of what we know they have to come with a bit more experience.
Sunday was the turn of Barking running a bit of a mixed up team, Speedy Roo is in season so Mayhem & Havoc stepped up to top team to fill the gap. Andrew did a fantastic job running Havoc for the first time and also helping Kath when she was running Creed and Mayhem at the same time!!
Really pleased with a new BFA club record of 14.92 especially with the mixed team we fielded, canβt wait to see what we can do next year with the full line up πππ
