McKennas stick with Easter Cup

FEARS that the current economic problems would decimate the sponsorship scene have proved unfounded and there was double good news this week with confirmation that existing sponsorship of the Easter Cup at Shelbourne and the Produce Stakes at Clonmel is to continue this year.

Yesterday Red Mills signed up for another year as sponsors of the Produce Stakes with the prizemoney maintained at last year’s levels. Today we are able to report that the McKenna family will again sponsor the College Causeway/Killahan Phanter Easter Cup.

Prizemoney has yet to be confirmed for the Easter Cup but the 550 yard competition will commence on Saturday, March 26 with the final to be run on Saturday, April 16.
