Thumbs up as National Meeting changes course

The Executive Committee of the Irish Coursing Club made the ground-breaking decision on Thursday to change the format for the National Meeting held annually at Powerstown Park, Clonmel, Co. Tipperary.

Following this year’s event the committee took feedback from coursing enthusiasts and have elected to stage the biggest coursing event in the calendar on Saturday February 2, Sunday February 3 and Monday February 4, 2013.

The decision however is huge, a major departure from tradition because for as long as anyone can remember the meeting was held on a Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
