Youghal ready to unveil first phase of refurbishment

Work goes feverishly forward as the final touches are being put to the first phase of Youghal Greyhound Track’s refurbishment in time for tomorrow’s Annual Sponsors’ Night.

For the first time, the new bar area underneath the stand will be open and fully functioning. Unquestionably, there was always a limitation in what could have been achieved by opening up the space under the stand, but there’s also no doubt that what has been done maximises the potential of the facility.

The area, with openings to the front and both sides of the stand, has wheelchair accessibility, a new bar, a Tote booth, large screens for watching the racing, men’s, women’s and wheelchair-accessible toilets, and plenty of seating.
