Greyhound racing in the Northwest received a welcome boost in recent days with the announcement that leading bookmaker BOYLE Sports has penned a three-year sponsorship deal for the Lifford Oaks, taking the partnership through to 2028.

A total of 24 top-class bitches are set to battle it out in this year’s competition across three exciting rounds at the County Donegal venue. The action gets underway on Saturday, 24th October, with the final scheduled for Saturday, 7th November, when the eventual winner will pocket a brilliant €15,000 first prize.

Liam McKee, Head of Sponsorship at BOYLE Sports, said: “This latest commitment underlines our ongoing support of greyhound racing in Ireland and reinforces our investment in the key events and venues in the country. We are thrilled to be on board at Lifford and needless to say we are looking forward to another competitive renewal this year.”

Lifford Stadium General Manager Colm McGee also welcomed the announcement, saying: “This will be great news for greyhound enthusiasts in the Northwest and is sure to be well received by all. On behalf of everyone at Lifford Stadium, I would like to thank BOYLE Sports for backing the biggest race in our calendar and indeed for their continued support of the entire Irish greyhound industry.”
