WELL DONE BALLYGIBLIN
Though victory was not to be, each and every one can stand proud of the effort in Croke Park on Saturday last. It was a heartbreak to go under by the narrowest of margins but beidh lá eile. A sincere thank you for keeping us entertained right through the winter months.
WELL DONE MICHAEL AND MAURA HORGAN
Well done to Michael and Maura Horgan whose greyhound Two Bears just came up short in the Irish Coursing Derby final in Clonmel last weekend, ironically going under to a Kilkenny dog, still a fantastic achievement.
