It is that time of the year again with the first round of the Con and Annie Kirby Memorial Puppy Stakes scheduled for this Saturday night 11th March.
In its fifth year the Con & Annie Kirby Memorial offers a phenomenal prize fund of €160,000 to the competing Greyhounds, plus a €20,000 prize fund on offer to Limerick GAA Clubs in the Nominator competition.
The winning Greyhound will receive €80,000, while the winning GAA club will receive €10,000 plus a free Fundraising Benefit Night. The GAA clubs will also have the chance to win much more, with competitions each week throughout the competition.

There was huge interest again this year and the draw took place during the week to select 72 dogs and pair them with GAA clubs.
Crecora Manister GAA were lucky to get a dog and have been paired up with “Drive On Tipp”.
Drive On Tipp is owned by Laurence O’Rourke from Berkshire and Trained by Graham Holland from Co. Tipperary.
On 26th November last Drive On Tipp registered his first win in Shelbourne Park with an all and away success in 28.46 seconds, the win qualifying Drive on Tipp for the final of the Comerford Stakes.

Come along to Limerick Greyhound Stadium this Saturday night and cheer on Drive on Tipp who will be running from trap 1 in heat 10.
