ANNOUNCEMENT, plus more information about the GSA Ireland National Trial at OG Templepatrick this weekend.

Unfortunately Barry Dennehy is no longer able to undertake tracklaying duties, we wish him all the best and would like to thank Raymond Simaitis of OG Thomond for agreeing to take on the role at such short notice.

Tracking will take place on Saturday morning, competitors to meet at OG Templepatrick at 8am.
As parking is extremely limited, we ask any spectators to car share and email [email protected] if you wish to spectate so we can collate numbers. A BH test and official training will take place in the afternoon.

Obedience will start at 9am on Sunday, with protection to follow in the afternoon.

All times subject to change and competitors and spectators will be notified as and when and changes occur.

This event will be fully catered and there will also be a prize ballot.
Spectators are welcome, but non-competing dogs must be kept away from the main arena while the competition is underway, thank you for your understanding.

We hope to see you at OG Templepatrick this weekend!
