ARDFERT GREYHOUND STADIUM

This site is not an official website for the track shown here and is neither approved or endorsed by the stadium. I am indebted to Richard English for helping to construct this page. 

The Kerry town of Ardfert was the home of a greyhound track in the late 1920s just after greyhound racing had been introduced to the UK. It was situated at 9° 46' W 52° 19' N and first hosted racing in 1929. However, by 1930 it had closed.

This section gives a comprehensive picture of the badges produced by the track throughout the ages, but only provides the briefest of glimpses of its history. For those wishing to undertake further research we can recommend a visit to
