SENIOR ALL IRELAND @ BALLYCLOUGH SUNDAY 29TH SEPTEMBER 2013

all roads lead to ballyclough tomorrow for the 2013 senior all ireland drag hunt, reports from today's markers of the course is that it should be around the 40 minute running time with fast open fields,

Weather: 60% chance of light rain 

Favourite to land this years blue riband event is Bernie ralls champion dog mossy, of (mayfield) in a season which has seen the mayfield hound notch up 14 wins & 16 places in the first 6 totalling 30 tickets in all, if he's there on the call he will be hard to beat & he has a good turn of foot when the call goes up, Mayfield as a club have never won the all Ireland maybe this year will be their year.other hounds to watch out for from the mayfield club are off the rails,she's a demon & west gate music.

the howler jack my pick for this year 

hounds that could contest the outcome are my pick the howler jack (above)  for ger & jen Keneally of S&C  Harriers,  & Ken longs blue shadow could come up with the goods.

last years winner blench moor 

don't write off last years winner Blench-moor (above) who has found some form the last couple of weeks after an up & down season plagued by injuries.

big question is will damien wade (clogheen) run his 2013 All Ireland Puppy Champion slievemish weapon & 3rd placed puppy slievemish express in the senior drag hunt.

rosebud (Douglas), west-gate Caesar (mayfield),mikado & lady erin (clogheen) blackholm (griffen united)killantieg west (IHT),Jarvis (kerry pike) blackmail (northern hunt ) chelises girl (IHT) midday magic (Douglas) will all be expected to put in a good run for their trainers.

(ICDA) could it be 3rd time lucky for gerry Murphy's mexican magician runner up in 2011 & 2012 she's sure to be in the hunt to land the big prize, 

Eamon Murphy's blue lightening, moss-grove farmer, trebor,ballintemple bob , border magic to name a few will all be trying to land the big one for the ICDA.

Kerry Beagle Association hopes of landing the big one lay on gambler , jess & tiger trained by john McGill, travel star mike 7 joe Driscoll, balliard kerry pat Dillon , misty muris brennan , blue storm david o'shea trained ,singer Joseph smith & jake ciaran smith.

i would like to wish everyone the best of luck for tomorrow's draghunt may the best hound win & all hounds return safe & well.
