News
The IGOBF have expressed their concerns to GRI about the recent survey being undertaken.
We wish to state categorically that a very simplistic six question survey with no options other than two or three prescribed answers is not a consultation with greyhound owners and trainers.

Congratulations Margaret Nolan
The winner of the €5,000 prize in the IGOBF English Derby Buster Draw is Margaret Nolan from County Kildare. Margaret is a long time owner and breeder of greyhounds and is 85 years young. Margaret is a regular visitor to Shelbourne Park and will be in attendance on Saturday 16th July for a presentation of the IGOBF Buster prizemoney by representatives from IGOBF.
Margaret was watching the English derby final 2022 on RPTV with her buster ticket receipt in her hand and knew immediately when she saw the result of the race that she had the winning combination sequence. The entire family are great supporters of IGOBF and Margaret’s daughter Daire Malone quickly messaged IGOBF chairman Damian Matthews with a screenshot of Margaret’s winning buster ticket receipt. The winning sequence and proof of purchase was confirmed with the IT controller and Margaret Nolan was announced as the winner of the E5,000 prize.
All the family are involved with greyhounds for many years and they are “over the moon” that their mother won the prizemoney because she is great to support good causes and they are also very supportive and appreciative of the work that the IGOBF do for the greyhound owners and breeders. Proceeds raised from the IGOBF English Derby Buster 2022 will be given back to the owners as prize money at greyhound stadia in Ireland including the tracks in Northern Ireland.
