GREYHOUND NEWS 

David O’Neill has been recognized at Clonmel Greyhound Track for having the most winners and seconds in the annual competition. He finished the year with 36 winners and 32 seconds, showcasing his talent in training greyhounds. David’s success is particularly notable given that he operates Chamberlain Kennels, just outside New Inn which has just eight greyhounds. This achievement highlights how even small kennels can compete effectively in the greyhound racing scene.
