Rotherham Flyball Teams Tournament Report

Sponsored By Vitalin

 

Wow, what a weekend. Thursday evening came and it was time to set up our team camp, dogs exercised, and then a couple of beers with some fish & chips for tea. Whilst having our tea we discussed where the arena was going to be sited, with the weather being forecasted as diabolical we decided to put the arena at the side of some very high trees to protect us from the forecasted high winds. Friday morning was an early start. After exercising the dogs and eating breakfast it was time to start.

 

Three of us started to mark out the arena as this venture was a new to us, and the rest of the team built up the gazebo’s. We were covering all the racing lanes and the box end as the weather forecast  was not very good. We were fortunate to get all marked out and gazebo’s in place just in time for the heavens opening and the heaving rain was with us for the rest of the day and into the night.

 

Saturday morning came, 5 am and it was still raining I wasn’t looking forward to getting up and putting the finishing touches to the ring, then the rain stopped. Our venue is a very well drained sports complex and within an hour you wouldn’t have known it had been raining quite heavy most of the night. Dog measuring came and went then it was 8.30 am.  On the dot racing commenced all five divisions ran very well, we had two of our teams running on Saturday, Razors (first time out for this team) and the kids team the Runaways with all divisions finishing at 6pm.  

 

We moved the lanes across that evening just before presentation and secured all the gazebos for the next day’s racing. Sunday came and the weather was much better, racing started at 8.30 am again running four divisions with our top team the Rockets running top seed in division two.  All in all the weekend went very well  two days of excellent racing and some very fast times.

 

 Saturday    Div 9 winners Sheffield Scurriers 22.95

                   Div 6 winners Doncaster Artic Stars 20.96

                   Div 5 winners Rotherham Runaways 20.14

                   Div 4 winners Podantics 18.88

                   Div 3 winners Demon Racers 19.61

 

 Sunday     Div 8 winners Doncaster Dinky Stars 22.46

                  Div 7 winners Doncaster Eastern Stars 20.85

                  Div 2 winners Cheshire Toppers 18.74

                  Div 1 winners Hill Top Maddogz 17.88

 

Well done to all divisional winners they were presented with a 2.5 kg bag of dog food each courtesy of our sponsor Vitalin
