Trainers Championship (greyhounds)

The Trainers Championship is a competition for the leading greyhound trainers in the United Kingdom.

It was inaugurated in 1977 at (Brough Park) and is contested by the six leading trainers based on the previous years points gained from open race success. [1]

The competition should not be confused with the Greyhound Trainer of the Year which is awarded to the trainer who achieves the most points for winning open races on the Greyhound Board of Great Britain annual racing calendar. [2]
