East Anglian Derby (greyhounds)
The East Anglian Derby is a greyhound competition held at Yarmouth Stadium.[1] It was first run under NGRC (National Greyhound Racing Club) rules in 1975 and is worth £15,000 to the winner today.[2] The prize money level paid today rates the competition as one of the major races on the greyhound calendar.
The competition was also previously held when the track raced as an independent.[3] Charlie Lister OBE has won the event a record twelve times.[4]
