Sh Ch IRWS wins Irish field trial

[Margaret Sierakowski]

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

Was this trial on grouse? Can anyone give us a full report?

[Margaret Sierakowski]

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 :))

[Susan Stone]

Come on Marc, tell us more!!! Please...

Marc's dog Fionn (Dalriach Garryowen) is the brother of Catch (Dalriach Goshawk), the sire of Skadi.
There are some good dogs behind them. Pepperstown Polly, Rushfield Rascal. Kestrel of Cherryfield, Bawnrhu Smart Fella , and back to Ben of Sugarloaf, who was behind more of the dogs in Norway and Sweden

It is nice to see that Sh Ch also can do it well in FT, Were did they trial, was it Highland, Open Class? How has the other IRWS done it this year in the different trials?
