Only 1 pup caught in the ECR comp last night on balinoulaghrt, sea was a bit rough for them, I reckon the next settled spell of weather will see them on the wicklow and wexford beaches.

The 23rd on wicklow will be more of a doggy bash always a chance of a hound. Over the years a six hour event was averaging 40 plus dogs
