ICC to meet County Limerick Coursing Club over Irish Cup crux

Peace talks are due to take place in Clonmel tomorrow between the Irish Coursing Club (ICC) and County Limerick Coursing Club (CLCC) over the future running of the Irish Cup meeting, the traditional blue riband of the sport.

The ICC, in a surprise move last month, said it intends to transfer the meeting from Limerick racecourse at Patrickswell to an alternative, unnamed venue.

Following the announcement, the County Limerick club, organisers of the Irish Cup, informed the Clonmel based ICC that it had no legal role in matters relating to the Irish Cup.
