Welcome along to the weekly wrap, this week we received confirmation our cup dates!
The heats will be on Friday the 26th of November with the big cup night on the following Friday the 2nd of December.
Consecutive Friday nights will be a great opportunity for the club to get a crowd on track with the warm Summer nights and the best greyhounds in the country competing for the BIG purse. We can wait.
This coming Friday sees the running of the Shepparton Cup heats. They have managed 5 talent packed heat, with last start Healsville cup winner Zipping Arnold and his new compression suit.
