ICC withdraws threat to move Irish Cup from Limerick

In a dramatic about turn last night, the Irish Coursing Club (ICC) withdrew it’s threat to move the Irish Cup blue riband fixture from Co. Limerick, its traditional home for over 100 years.

In a surprise move last month the ICC said it intended to transfer the meeting from Limerick racecourse, at Patrickswell to an altenative, unnamed venue.

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