PAUL SCALLY

Greyhound racing lost one of its most popular characters today with the news that Paul Scally, Thurles, has passed away peacefully

The man behind the formidable ‘Cabra’ prefix, many top-class trackers have passed through his hands over the years with the likes of Cabra Hurricane, Cabra Buck and Cabra Firmino amongst some of his best. Indeed, an outstanding supporter of his local track Thurles, Paul’s passion for the game has been passed on to his son and daughter, Paddy and Ava, and only last Saturday saw Paddy notch a fine treble, which featured on talking dogs - Thurles - 14th Sept Results
