FOLLOWING the completion of voting, officials for the National coursing meeting in Clonmel at the end of the months have been named.

FROM THE privileged vantage point of the balcony high up in the stand, Limerick Racecourse was a picture yesterday morning, a radiant rural sunlit sight, everything perfectly in place for the 105th Irish Cup Meeting.

IT WAS the biggest and best sporting event in Ireland not just yesterday but all week.

CENTENARY celebrations in Patrickswell yesterday, the 100th running of coursing’s Irish Cup at Limerick Racecourse, and boy, did you need your thermals!
