Every year when we go to Clonmel we find new surprises.....The hare park gets upgraded every year and last year saw an new Slippers hut that makes life better for everyone. This season sees a new hare boxing shed that is at long last worthy of the National meeting.
A huge amount of though has been put into every detail
hares come through from back run into large well padded run and get funneled into boxes
The shed is large with plenty of light
all penning boxes are on castor rollers, making movement of boxes very easy
Theresc a good viewing window allowing hares to be easily assessed

On MARCH 3RD.. 2012 a benefit night will be held at Limerick greyhound stadium for 23 year old johnny Ryan from bruff in county Limerick. Johnny recently suffered serious spinal injuries in a domestic accident.
I appreciate sincerely that in these tough economic times everyone is struggling, however Johnnys situation is one that puts everything into perspective at least for me.
From my own experience i know that the doggy crowd are a conscientious and generous lot... Tickets are €10 and race sponsors are also being sought. PM me for further details or post a message.
Please if there is anyone out there with funds to sponsor a race I urge you to do so
With the express permission of the ICC, the organising committee of the Johnny Ryan fund will be selling tickets for the benefit night at Limerick Greyhound Stadium on the Tuesday of the National Meeting (Jan 31st) in Powerstown Park. They will be located towards the paddock area just below the Bookies as you turn into the shop/retail area. The committee are grateful to the ICC for this opportunity and also to those have contributed to date. Your further generosity will be appreciated on the day
Anyone wishing to donate to this Fund ....
Make cheques payable to: ‘Johnny Ryan Benefit Fund’
