IRISH SPRING - MONCETZ 2021

International Irish Setter Club

After the cancellation of the 2020 edition of our traditional European Championship on partridge, we were hopeful that we could organize it again in 2021.

Unfortunately, health conditions have not improved much in France as in other countries. It therefore does not seem reasonable to imagine being able to maintain this international event with competitors and judges coming from many different countries.

 The Red Club has therefore decided, with regret, not to organize these 2021 European Championship.

However, the Red Club has made a request to the French authorities to try to maintain a field trial on partridge, reserved for Irish setters.

This event, open to all Irish setters, but without the European Championship, would take place as planned on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 March in Moncetz-Longevas with solo, brace  and Derby competitions.

You will understand that the existence of this event will depend on government restrictions that may evolve as well as on obtaining the necessary authorization from the competent authorities to organize it.

The Red Club will of course keep you informed of the follow-up that we can give to this competition.

 

The Second European Champions for Irish Red Setters on Snipe

International Irish Setter Club

The Irish Red Setter Club ran the second edition of the European Championship for Irish Red Setters in conjunction with the International Irish Red Setter Club. The trials were run on snipe on the heather bogs in East Galway, hosted by the Mountbellew & Moylough Gun Club on the 14th  to 17th of October 2019. Blessed by good weather and a bountiful supply of snipe the Championship was another great success. Just under 50 Irish setters from France, the UK and Ireland competed as well as people from Switzerland and Greece.

The event was sponsored again by Connolly’s Red Mills and Devonish Nutrition permitting the invitation of an international and national panel of judges, social events and bespoke prizes for all the winners. One of the owners of Red Mills, Bill Connolly also competed successfully with his team of Irish setters as evidenced in the list of winners below. The breed’s prowess as a snipe dog was very evident as can be seen by the number of dogs in the awards and the high number of excellent classifications awarded by the judges.

The Judging panel was drawn from senior national and international sources. The Irish judges included Jim Sheridan, the Chairman of the IKC Field Trials Committee, Patrick McCarthy, Michael Heuston, Aidan Dunne, all A Panel Judge together with Jean Pierre Gott , President of Honour of the French Irish Setter Club and Rene Bloch an international field trial judge from Switzerland. The Solo trials were judged by IRSC Club stalwarts Kristin Jameson and John Mullins.

There was a very positive atmosphere at the event and in a very sporting manner. The European Champion on Snipe 2019 is  Phillipe Guittard’s IRSB Jessie de l’Anse de Ty Roux handled by J F Meret and the Vice Champion id Pat Reape’s IRSD Ballinahemmy Mike.
