€75,000 prize fund for Hennerty Laurels

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.

Liz Igoe reports that the Hennerty Sales Irish Laurels will have a total prizefund in the region of €75,000 with the winner set to receive up to €35,000. Everybody will have an opportunity to get involved in the classic through a ‘Link In’ nomination system. This will boost the prize fund to allow for increased money for the Consolation Laurels and the supporting races on final night.

Pat Hennerty returns as sponsor again and he will have five final night race sponsors in Kudos Catering, Castle Hotel Macroom, Im Slippy Kennels, Harrington Assessors Ltd and Bryan & Kathleen Murphy.
