This Friday’s card at Kilkenny will feature the opening round heats of the Deadly Kennels McCalmont Cup A1 525.
There is a quality line-up featuring some notable back-graders and it’s safe to expect some exceptional racing in the coming four weeks.
Once again, a big shout out to Gary Hannon for coming on board to sponsor this prestigious event. Gary has been and continues to be a great supporter of greyhound racing in Kilkenny and his support is appreciated by all. Friday’s opening race is due off at 7.30pm.
