Skip Soda puts O’Donnells back in the limelight

THE O’Donnell Kennels in Killenaule are back in the headlines with young puppy Skip Soda winning a lot of admirers in the Festival Open Unraced Stake at Clonmel.

Matt and Frances O’Donnell have trained some legendary greyhounds over the years and rank among the elite band of trainers to have won both the English and Irish Derbys.

They could well have another major Derby contender on their hands in Skip Soda which posted the joint fastest time in the quarter finals on Sunday night.
