Leinster TREC's D-TREC held Sunday 3rd October. This event was the first leg of a two event league, but also a stand alone event. Beautiful trophies were given down to 6th place by 'Loughway Stud' where the event was held. A lovely day with both old and new club members taking part; also good fun with a couple of Novelty classes. A special mention must go to Clare Cronly and Foaly, ( junior member) their first time taking part in TREC.
