Looking forward to May with Polar having his first run, Lucy tackling 6 bends, Russ coming back and Shelley fully back from season.
I will be watching a couple of Hounds with interest in their careers in England which will start shortly. Their names are Longrange Jewel and Pats Boss.
Also sometime in May puppy Dan should be off to Ireland to continue his progress.

Lucy and Betty kick off our May runners tonight, Tom runs Tomorrow.

The 2008 Greyhound Derby gets underway at Wimbledon tonight.
The first round will be run over the the next 2 nights, not as many entries this year but it looks like quality all the way with plenty fancying their chances.
My early two against the field are Catunda Harry and Farloe Black !!!!

Had a really good April at the tables. Only played about 8 days in total, 1 Win and 8 FTs from about 20 mtts was a great effort :)

The football season concludes in May and there is still loads to play for.
Villa still have an outside chance of making 5th in the Premiership after our recent good run.
The Baggies are guaranteed promotion but still have the Title to win.
Man U + Chelsea are tied on pts at the top and have set up a mouth watering trip to Moscow where they meet in the Champions League Final.
Relegation battles aplenty to be decided over the coming weeks.
In Scotland, the Auld Firm still have the Title to play for and Rangers will travel to Manchester after booking their place in the Uefa Cup Final, they will take on Zenit St Petersburg (what price would that have been at the start)

Finally NFL is back on the agenda, the Draft has taken place and tickets go on sale for the Wembley October game sometime in May.

Thx and GL
Neil
