Due to the earlier date for Team entry deadline being received by the WCC organisers, the procedure for joining Team UK has been altered from invitation to application. This means that instead of invitations being sent to the top qualifiers after the Spring Championships and then spaces being opened to reserves, those hoping for a place on the Team will now be required to apply in advance.
The same points system as used previously will still be used to determine from the applications which dogs will be allocated a position. The League Table showing current points can be seen here https://uksighthoundsport.com/team-uk-2025-current-qualifier-points Please remember, Spring Championships will be the final qualifier and opportunity to gain points. Winners of the National Championships 2024 automatically qualify, but owner’s will still need to complete the application form to claim the place.
The UKSS National Championship proved to be a success with five dogs claiming their UK Lure Coursing Champion titles.
Congratulations to the following champions and their proud owners:
