Dearbhla O’Brien, CEO of the Greyhound Racing Ireland, said: “We are delighted to continue our partnership with Matchbook Betting Exchange, and this year marks the 78th anniversary of the Irish St. Leger. The Classic Final, hosted at Limerick Greyhound Stadium, is an iconic sporting event with a long and illustrious history. We are thrilled to work with an innovative brand such as Matchbook. Despite the global challenges of 2021, the team locally worked hard to ensure The Irish St. Leger was a fantastic event, and we relish the year ahead and what is certain to be another competitive renewal”.
