The annual J and T Hickey charity sheep dog trial got under way yesterday morning at the Riding Club for the Disabled arena at the Showgrounds, with some good runs during the day.
The organisers were hoping to get 60 of the total 120 entries through during day one, with the rest today.
The final run-off of the top 12 dogs on points, after the two days of preliminaries, will be held from 9am tomorrow morning.
The top six from Thursday’s runs were not available when the Herald went to print last night. Among the competitors yesterday were Allen Irwin and Tyke.
