BEAM Services Bagnelstown Benefit Night

Sunday June the 19th sees the annual BEAM Gala race night at Kilkenny Greyhound Track. The event is now one of the highlight of the racing calendar, and as always will draw a massive crowd for this very worthy cause. BEAM, Bagnelstown are a wonderful charity, doing Trojan work for people with special needs from their resource centre in Bagnelstown, and this night is their primary annual fund raiser.

Red Mills Champion Unraced - 2011.. as it happened

Great start to the Red Mills last night, and the overall standard of this group of puppies is high. Before racing there were a lot of talking dogs, and word of flashy unrecorded trials was being bandied about like snuff at a wake.
