Head to Head: Is Hare Coursing a misunderstood and valuable Irish tradition, or an outdated and barbaric bloodsport? Here, DENIS BEARY argues the case for the defence:

When they say Coursing Clubs harm hares. Look at this boy! Fit, healthy, inoculated and very well feed, made a fool of a few greyhounds, now off you go you stag! @ICC_Coursing @ClonmelR @Thesportlunatic @crookedslipper @buff4dogs @evensthered #LongLiveCoursing

Time for those with the Watchman & Silent Wonder doubles to collect their winnings. And time for us to congratulate Co Linerick CC on another top class meeting with great coursing and outstanding winners.

[Conor Power @SuirThing]

Anyone lucky enough to be in Limerick today for the #IrishCup #coursing will talk about it for as long as they live. Two winners that will go down as among the fastest that we’ve seen #Watchman & #SilentWonder

[Irish Coursing Club @ICC_Coursing]

The Champ has done it. Back to back successes for Watchman, a feat last accomplished in 1975 & 1976 by Lusty More. And a Derby & Irish Cup double in same season for Basil & Bernie Holian and trainer Kevin Barry.

[Irish Coursing Club @ICC_Coursing]

Is there any stopping Watchman ??. A third consecutive sub 11 clock (10.96) for the defending champ as he leads top puppy Boylesportsmagic by about 4L. Like this morning he got a couple of turns but great hare.

Irish Cup 2nd Results

[Irish Coursing Club @ICC_Coursing]

Powerful display from Oaks heroine Ballymac Enya. Bursts from slips and opponent can never get on terms. #GoGirl 11.16

[Irish Coursing Club @ICC_Coursing]

Those 3/1 odds look generous now. Defending champion Watchman breaks the clock with his 10.86 run, doing everything just right. 5 lengths of daylight.
