BRITISH BRED DOG WINS AICC COURSING CHAMPIONSHIP
Sevenhouses Coursing Club again hosted the AICC Championship at their January meeting. The dogs competing in the Championship earned their places by qualifying at either Trim, Balbriggan, Carlow or Bandon & Carey’s Cross, earlier in the season.The Championship was won in fine style by British-bred Tricky Chuggy (Im Tricky – Local Lady), bred and trained by Robert Holt and owned by him with Charlie Lister. Runner-up was Sir Mark Prescott’s Pay Me, (Bexhill Eoin – Uptown Smurf), trained by Cliff Standing. The British coursing enthusiasts owe a big debt of gratitude to our Irish friends from all five of the Clubs, who welcomed us and our dogs so enthusiastically and were such marvellous hosts!
