City Sports surges higher on Europe’s elite meet ranking list

BUPA Cork City Sports has rocketed into up to third place on the European list of Permit Meetings and just below Grand Prix status, which is determined on budgets, attendances, appearance money and television coverage as well as performances on the track.

“It certainly came as a pleasant surprise,” said City Sports chairman, Dick Hodgins.

“Last year we jumped up to sixth place and we were quite chuffed about that but third place was beyond our wildest dreams.”
