Cambridgeshire Flyball can’t stop being on top!

 

Ellen Schofield, team captain of Cambridgeshire Flyball, sent this message at the end of 2024 …

 

2024 has to have been one of our most successful years to date. It's been crazy hard work but as a team, we are super proud.

  • We absolutely obliterated our club record again this year, breaking it four times throughout the year and ending on a 14.29s, making us the 6th fastest team in the world… EVER!
  • We also posted 14 new individual team records over the course of the year, with our 2nd team joining the sub-16 club
  • We debuted 3 dogs into league as well as another 2 into singles.
  • We hosted 10 UK Flyball League events at our lovely barn
  • We won a staggering 42 divisions (out of 67 entered) with our league teams
  • We have recorded 39 PBs for 20 different dogs in our club.
  • We bred our first ever sports mix litter under our very own Elvershire KC affix and have loved watching these incredible puppies grow over the year
  • We welcomed 5 puppies (2 BW, a cocker, a lab & a BC) and 9 new dogs into our team along with 2 lovely new team members
  • We were sad to see 5 of our members leave to head off to pastures new but we wish them every success for their future
  • We were also very sad to lose two absolutely incredible dogs, both very suddenly - Bailey & Ossie - we miss you both VERY much
  • We represented the UK at the 2024 Flyball Open World Cup and came 4th in the WORLD!
  • We are the UKFL Gold Cup Runners-up and have qualified for Crufts 2025.
  • We successfully transitioned 3 teams of dogs from indoor to outdoor racing and took them across to the European Championships in Belgium... with the CANINES coming 4th in division 1!
  • Our dogs have earned themselves 34 UKFL awards - 6 Cadet; 5 Cadet Advanced; 8 Cadet Superior; 5 Pilot Officer; 3 Flying Officer; 5 Flying Officer Advanced; 2 Flying Officer Superior
  • And finally, we end the year TOP of the UKFL league list, TOP of the UKFL Singles List (Vegas) and TOP of the UKFL Pairs List (Vegas & Kylo) 

None of this would be possible without the hard work and dedication of each member of our team as the incredible support from our partners - Photizo UK - LED Light Therapy Devices, CSJ and Emma Overend.

Here's to 2025... we can't wait!!!!

 

CSJ’s Ceri Rundle says, “What an incredible record in 2024!  We are so proud of you all and, like you, can’t wait for 2025!”
