The East Anglian Derby is a greyhound competition held at Yarmouth Stadium.[1][2]

Race history[edit]

The event was inaugurated in 1947, when the stadium ran under independent rules. It continued to be a major race on the independent calendar before the stadium switched to National Greyhound Racing Club status.[2] It was first run under NGRC rules in 1975 and is worth £15,000 to the winner today.[3] The prize money level paid today rates the competition as one of the major races on the greyhound calendar.[4]

Charlie Lister OBE has won the event a record twelve times.[5]
