Wales wins at Highclere - again!

Ceri.
Well thanks to CSJ for their help re sponsoring the Wales Retriever team at Highclere's World Retriever Championship test at the end of May 2009.
It was the third time Wales have won the World title and without accounting for the third place - it has been a very successfull run for Wales at this event. Wales are the only country to have achieved the 'triple crown' in Gundogs.
Eight tests on the first day, then four tests on the second day, then the individual run off at the end of all this, for the selected representative for each team, this was quite an ordeal. Wales had a very good day first day and led the field from rivals England by a narrow six points, all Welsh dogs going well.
The Welsh running order of Jammie Bettinson running at one, Alan Rees running two, Roger Phillips at 3 and brining up the rear our number 4 dog Huw Jones did exactly what was required from them for captain Mark Bettinson to lift the coveted title.
It was a narrow win with Wales clear at the top by 2 points from Germany at second and England in third place.
On behalf of the Wales team, thanks to Ceri and the gang for your continued support, your invaluable sponsorship and support in everything that we do - by the way thanks to all the supporters at the event willing us on to the tape.
Alan Rees
