The Scurry Gold Cup

The Scurry Gold Cup[1] is an original classic greyhound competition held at Belle Vue Stadium.

It was run at Clapton Stadium from 1928 until it's closure in 1973. The event moved to Slough Stadium in 1974 which consequently closed in 1986. The third move resulted in Catford Stadium hosting the race from 1987 until yet another closure forced the race to end in 2002. After a two year wait, a new home was finally found at Perry Barr Stadium until 2009 when the GRA switched the competition to sister track Belle Vue.
