Early March Update and FA Cup

After a busy start to the month of which all i seemed to have done is be at work or down at Hall Green Stadium. Here is a run down of how the dogs have performed.

Sat 1st March
Marvin (3/12) 3rd in A1, another fine effort
Tom (0/3) 3rd in A2
Belle (1/10) 3rd in A6 , 3 bronze medals

Tues 4th March
Fivo (1/4) 2nd in A2
Betty trialled and graded on :)

Weds 5th March
Teddy (1/9) 4th in A3
Lulu (1/7) 6th in A5, a poor run
Janey (2/6) 6th on her comeback run in A4

Fri 7th March
Belle (1/11) 2nd in A6
Marvin (4/13) WON A2@3/1 beating Fivo
Fivo (1/5) 2nd to Marvin, Had the RFC :)
Betty (0/1) made her debut in A7, a promising run

Sat 8th March
Russ (1/10) 2nd in A1 beaten a SHD :(
Teddy (1/10) 2nd in A3
Tom (0/4) 6th in A2, badly needs the rail

Plenty of 2nds and 3rds there !!!!!
A strange race for us when Marvin beat Fivo, down the back they were clear and the forecast was guaranteed. Where did that 4.71 sectional come from Marv ;)

March 1/14
Year 13/84

Runners thick and fast over next couple of days with Janey and Lulu running Tuesday night and
Fivo, Belle, Teddy and Tom out on Weds Bags.
If i had to pick one out, Teddy would be the one, gl to them all :)

Whilst typing the draw for the Semis of the FA Cup was made.
What a weekend of results with Pompey, Barnsley and Cardiff upsetting the odds over Man Utd, Chelsea and Middlesborough respectively, then the Baggies eased past Bristol Rovers.
With a trip to Wembley guaranteed for all the draw is -

Barnsley v Cardiff
W.B.A v Portsmouth

I believe any of these teams can now go on to lift the Trophy but with Michelle being a mad Baggies fan lets hope the Albion can do it :)

The Cheltenham Festival begins tomorrow and i shall post some selections later.

Gl and Thx
Neil
