Coursing is a very popular sport in this part of Cork County, as well as river fishing, rallying, football, hurling, rowing & many other pastimes.

Coursing:
Coursing is long established as part of Irish rural life & pastime. The Irish Coursing Club was founded in 1916. It has very strict Rules and guidelines laid down for all Coursing Clubs under its affiliation. These Rules and guidelines are rigidly enforced by the Irish Coursing Club's Officials and Control Stewards who attend all coursing meetings. Coursing may only take place between the end of September and February inclusive. This is to ensure that the hare is protected during the breeding season. Clubs may not run more than 72 courses in anyone day. Clubs must have a minimum of number of hares before running a meeting - the minimum number being 1 hare for every course to be run plus a surplus of 10. All hares must be released back to the countryside after each coursing meeting. The object of a course is to test two greyhounds against one another, not against the hare. It is not the object of a course to kill the hare. Muzzling of greyhounds was introduced to coursing in 1993 and now greyhounds must be muzzled in each round of all stakes at enclosed coursing meetings. Coursing Clubs take steps to ensure that the hare is protected from predators and from poachers. The result of the conservation and preservation policies of the Irish Coursing Club and Coursing Clubs generally, is that the hare population is on the increase.
