"Congratulations to the connections of all this year's GBGB Award winning greyhounds. It was a  brilliant year of racing with outstanding winners and some categories that were very close, and it was fantastic to be able to celebrate both the winners and other nominees at the Awards ceremony on Thursday night.

 

"We were also delighted to be able to recognise the people who make our sport so great - from Owners and Trainers to Kennelhands and Track Staff - who all work tirelessly each day to keep our sport running at the very highest standard. We look forward to seeing all that they and their greyhounds continue to achieve over the coming year!"
