Every year as part of the Con and Annie Kirby Memorial we run a colouring competition and we are always blown away by the artistic talents of the young boys and girls.
This year, our colouring competition is extra special! We want your help to design the Race Programme cover for the Final of the 2026 Con and Annie Kirby Memorial.
Draw us a picture, colour it in bright and colourful and share with us. We'd like the winning drawing to be connected to the Con and Annie Kirby Memorial so consider including racing or your love for Limerick, show off your talent.
DOWNLOAD THE COLOURING SHEET HERE TO PRINT AT HOME
You can also pick up a sheet and colour it during racing. Don't forget to share your name, age, club/location and most importantly the name and contact number for parents/guardians so we can get in touch.
Completed colouring sheets can be dropped to us during racing, keep an eye out for the colouring competition entry box near the entrance. Entries will be accepted up to, and including, Saturday 4th April, Quarter Final night.
If you can't make it back again, high quality scans can also be sent to us on email on competitions@grireland.ie.
