Death of legendary trainer Ger McKenna

Ger McKenna, the legendary greyhound trainer from Borrisokane, passed away late on Wednesday night.

In what has been a tough few weeks for the greyhound community following the passing of Seamus Graham, the loss of another truly influential and legendary figure will be much lamented.

McKenna won basically everything there was to win — most of it on more than one occasion. The Leger proved a particular favourite, from his first, Prince Of Bermuda in 1956, to his 12th and last, Moran’s Beef in 1984.
