Dunraven claims cup a century on

LORD Thady Dunraven brought the Irish Cup back home to Kilgobbin, Adare, last night for the first time since the Dunravens let loose greyhounds in pursuit of the trophy 100 years ago.

His father and grandfather were in at the beginning when the Dunraven family opened their lands at Charity Meadows, Clounanna, for the event in 1905.

But up to yesterday, winning the event had eluded the Dunravens.
