Wales’ last greyhound racing track and the dedicated community fighting against a ban

Malcolm Tams has dedicated 49 years of his life to greyhound racing.

The 67-year-old from Blackwood was introduced to the sport by at the age of 18 when his uncle, who always kept racing dogs when Malcolm was growing up. From that moment, Malcolm was hooked and his love for the animals compelled him to make a career in the racing industry.

His wish came true when he decided to take over Valleys Greyhounds in 2008, and since then, renovations have been made to the stadium including fully licenced bar, a lounge, TV race-replay monitors, and panoramic viewing. And Malcolm has now been passing down his knowledge of the sport to his sons who are all grown up now.
