James Stephens hold successful 'Night at the Dogs' - Kilkenny Live

The fundraising committee from the James Stephens GAA club would like to acknowledge the wonderful turnout of club members, players, parents and friends of the club who contributed to the making of the 'We’re Going To The Dogs' evening such a wonderful success at the Kilkenny Greyhound Track on Friday.

With the evening enjoying good weather, great entertainment, plenty of banter and competitive dog racing for the attendance and the generous race sponsors.

It was a memorable evening too for the Leahy brothers with Thomas’s dog De Monks Dream winning the Fran Grincell 525 race and Murt’s entry Fleadh Saraide crossing the line to win the Pat Carroll 525 final. Both winners were greeted with a huge Village cheer of approval.

The highlight of the evening was the Leahy family-sponsored Georgie Leahy Memorial 525 Final which went to the reserve entry Deadly Crusader.

The ticket entry draw prize for a robot vacuum system was won by K Stapleton of Ballingarry GAA club in Limerick. The winners of the DID Electric-sponsored raffle during the evening were Denise Downey, Evan Downey, Joe Murray, Pearl Cleere, Maria Kennedy, Shem O’Donnell, Eve Carroll, Paddy Duggan and John Coonan. A great night was enjoyed by all, thanks to the hard work of Richie Manogue’s organising committee.
