Sporting Leagues RaceNight   

                                            

Many thanks to all who supported this night at the Newcastle Greyhound Stadium at Brough Park.

We took part in the sporting league event along with Newcastle Garnett Bohemians FC, Morpeth Harriers, Benwell and Wallbottle CC, and Newcastle East End Juniors.

Each club was assigned a trap number (We were given trap 2), and raced out of each trap for the 5 races.

The position the dog finished in translated to the points awarded. 1st 7pts, 2nd 6pts, etc.

The club with the highest points was crowned the GSL Champions and recieved a trophy.

Unfortunately we came joint 2nd (East End won), as we missed out by just a single point.

A great night was had by all especially those who placed bets and won!!!.

 

Highlight of the night was the 8:04 race which was named in honour of our club. Unfortunately our dog Karl's Crest didn't win the ' Wallsend Town AFC Juniors Stakes' but just like all our teams so far this season gave a gallant effort.

It is hoped that we will be invited to take part again in the near future, I hope we can once again bank on all your support

Many thanks.
