During racing we achieved a best time of 19.99 to consolidate our seed time.

Congratulations to the Kidderminster medium agility team who won the Crufts qualifier at Wye Valley, Monmouth today to book their place at Crufts 2015. For once it was not plain sailing as Team Captain Stuart mis-read the running order and did not arrive in time to run!. So Heidi stepped up from reserve with the ever dependable Cody. In the run we performed very well just picking up 5 faults over the 4 dogs. Sadly the timing had failed and meant we had to re-run from scratch. All handlers and dogs once again delivered under pressure to win the class. Congratulations to the following who are Crufts bound in 2015, Heidi & Cody, Sue & Spice, Liz & Kera, and Karen & Willow.18th May 2014
The dogs seemed to be getting their racing legs back after the Winter break and in our 3rd show of the year Kiddy Minsters stormed to a divisional win. The dogs who travelled to Sutton Fields Cheshire were Stan, Marmite, Maddison, Mac and Jodie. They were in control of the division from the off winning the first four matches without losing a leg. During the racing Marmite obtained the BFA Graduate award so congratulations to Laura who has worked hard to get Marmite up to her current level.3rd May 2014
Kiddy Minsters raced to a well earned third place in division 5 at the Water Orton BFA Flyball show held in Evesham today. The team won 4 of the six matches including a win over the eventual division winners. The dogs racing today were Maddison, Marmite, Stan, Abby, Jodie and Rosie. Special mention for Jodie who proved at nearly eleven she can still mix it with the top dogs and Rosie who raced in her first open competition winning all the legs she ran in. The handlers involved today were Karen Louise, Laura, Rob and Stuart with Emma once again putting in a faultless performance as Box Loader. Congratulations to all involved.19th April 2014
