THE Cotswold club sent an impressive 6 teams to this 80 team opening tournament of the season. The trip up the M4 proved very successful for the club with 5 placings out of the 6 teams entered, a tremendous perfomance as the teams contained many dogs making their debut in competition.
The Typhoons stole the show with a clean sweep of 5 wins to take first place in Division 7, the team of Reuben, Cerys, Dylan and Rona combined to dominate and easily take the title.
The Cyclones with a re-jigged line up due to injury looked the class act in Division 4 but had to settle for second after a slick Sussex team pounced on a couple of errors. The Puffs the club's newcomer, novice team of Darragh, Poppie, Rosie, Belle and Bonnie showed the club has some rising stars coming through the ranks by taking 3rd in a competitive division, this included a 3 - 0 whitewash of local rivals Bassets.
The Sciroccos, running together for the first time, put up a spirited perfomrmance in Division 8 and took 4th place.
The Sundowners mixing experience and youth emulated their sister team by taking 4th place in Division 9.
The Zephyrs struggled with a new line up for the season and after a difficult morning rallied for the afternoon session, picking up a win and a very close final match but this could not prevent them slipping to 6th places.
All in all a very promising performance with several new dogs settiling to their teams as the club prepares to send 7 teams to do battle at Evesham next weekend.
