The UGS held our Open Cocker trial today at Audley End by the very kind permission of Mrs Louise Newman and the Audley End Estate.
We were in the very capable hands of head Keeper Geoff Garrod while his son Justin, run the line. The dogs had to work hard to find game and a mixed bag of Pheasant and Hare was shot. We saw a high standard of dog work but number of the dogs fell by the wayside, leave 5 dogs at the end.
