Meet the Kerry fifth-year student who stunned the greyhound world and pocketed €80,000

Says teenager Dan O'Rahilly: 'The money is great, and I will definitely be investing some of it in buying pups, but there are also plenty of things to be paid for – as there always are with greyhounds'

The dust is yet to settle and normal routine yet to return for 17-year-old Daniel O’Rahilly who, last Saturday night, sent out Knockeen Dazzler to win the prestigious Con & Annie Kirby Memorial at Limerick Greyhound Stadium.

The achievement, in taking on and beating the very best trainers and the cream of young track talent in the country earned the Ballymacelligott lad a considerable cheque, countrywide adulation, and the bonus of a couple of days away from his school duties.
