The controversial €23m sale of Harold’s Cross greyhound stadium that would wipe out the Irish Greyhound Board’s debts may take another six months to be finalised.

It was great to get confirmation from Declan Dowling that GMHD.ie Insurances will continue their association with the Juvenile Classic at Tralee in 2016.

Show jumping is to be staged at three greyhound stadia this summer.

Consideration is been given to staging show jumping at a number of greyhound stadia next year.
