Congratulations to Marc Ruymbeke, whose Ch and Int Ch Dalriach Garryowen won a field trial in Ireland today, making him the first show champion setter to win a field trial in Ireland for over 25 years. Garryowen's son Deargban The Long Fella also went through to the second round, so a very good day for Marc.
The last setter sh ch to win a field trial in Ireland was another IRWS Knockane Sherry , owned by Terry O'Leary, in the early nineteen eighties
Marc is on this list, so he can tell you about it himself - but he is a very nice quiet man who never brags, just keeps his head down and works very hard :))
Many congratulations Marc and Margaret, such a great acheivment of breeding and training. 25 years since the last Sh Ch winner ! Well Marc, now you have a new goal, how long is it since we had a Dual Champion ? Go for it !!!
