Competition Report

In the final Muinessa came out top in a very competitive final with all greyhounds showing in the final. Blackstream Bridge, Tee Bawn and Western Skipper all vied for the lead until the third bend before the other three greyhounds Muinessa, Another Sunville and Sure Line all joined them. As the pack approached the fourth bend Western Skipper was marginally ahead before a decisive late burst of pace by Muinessa sealed the win. [3] [4]

Muinessa was bred by Simon Garrahan and owned by his niece Nuala O’Byrne and the final was a one-two finish for County Westmeath connections. [2]
