CORK dual star Eoin Cadogan was among those who launched the 2011 Hennerty Sales Irish Laurels at Curraheen Park yesterday evening. The event will again be one of the richest events in the Irish greyhound calendar thanks to the multi sponsorship system and the innovative Nominator Scheme.

THIS year’s Irish Laurels at Curraheen Park will be sponsored by Pat Hennerty Sales Ltd, while nine other sponsors will join forces in supporting the other races on what promises to be a remarkable final night.

Over the years the Boylesports International at Dundalk has produced some really dramatic occasions and one wonders what lies in store this evening when six of the best greyhounds in these islands chase a prize of €25,000, easily the biggest for a one-off contest in these islands.
