We had three days of what can only be described as probably one of the best meetings to date, Knockgraffon being one of the oldest coursing clubs in Ireland. The All-Age cup, kindly sponsored by M.F Barron was won by “Party’s on Willie” owned by the crested Ten syndicate from Edenderry.

The Oaks was sponsored by local Joe Blair, MBC Timberframe Buildings and trophy sponsored by Tom O’Dwyer, Cashel was won by “Mushy Peas” owned by Sir Mark Prescott and trained by local trainer Mark O’ Donovan. The Strumble Working Members cup won by “Proud Pat” owned by locals Sean O’Donnell, Cliona O’Donnell, and Paddy McGee. Secretary Ger Hally made a special presentation on behalf of the club to Jimmy & Shari Anne O’Donnell on breeding the 2020 Track Derby winner “New Inn Taylor”.
The Knockgraffon CC would like to thank everyone who gave their time to make it a memorable meeting, especially landowners, sponsors, and supporters.
