RETRIEVING AUSTRALIA FORUM

1. Gareth Tawton with Monty
2. Joe Vella with Blackie
3. Rob Tawton with King
4. Rob Tawton with Tank
5. Mark Davis with Swampy

Fuller report hopefully this afternoon when I return from school but in the meanwhile:

1. Gareth Tawton with Monty 266
2. Joe Vella with Blackie 261½
3. Rob Tawton with King 258½
4. Rob Tawton with Tank 257½
5. Mark Davis with Swampy 255

I wonder how many Queenslanders have noted that all five placings have been taken out by inter-Staterss? Parochialism is all well and good but it doesn't put bacon on the plate!

Minor awards to come later.

Thanks for the detailed results Julian.

I understand that Jackie Duffy was unable to co-judge the championship with Allan Bartram due to an injury and that Gary Haigh judged in her place. Is this correct?

Cheers, Jason.

Hi Jason, Yes Gary did judge the Championship with me, taking over at short notice when Jackie severly injured her knee. Im sure you'll join me in wishing her a very speedy recovery from her surgery. Just a note on the Championship, it was held on Thanes Creek Nr Leyburn in beautiful fine conditions 28 entries 25 starters. AND we were lucky enough to get by without any dogs getting assaulted by the dreaded Tiger Pear with its 25mm spines!

Cheers Allan

We are catching up on all the news today.
Congratulations to the ACT and NSW dogs and handlers on scooping the top places in the Qld Championship with special congrats to Gareth and Monty. See you all in a few weeks time at the State and National trials here.
