Early published report by Homer –
The Premier Old Bird National & Derby from St Malo in France followed the trend of the earlier races of the cross channel season, very hard and a lot of empty perches. As I write the race is still in progress, liberation was at 7.30am on Sunday 29th June in a Light West, NW wind having been held over the previous day due to poor conditions over the route. The total arrivals from St Malo on Monday night at 10.00pm was 72 with 2 Centres unaccounted for – Larne 5 birds, Lisburn 6 birds, Dromore 3 birds, Newry 9 birds, Doagh 4 birds, Ligoniel 6 birds, Loughgall 13 birds, Coalisland 6 birds, Killyleagh 4 birds, Cullybackey 8 birds, Derry 1 bird, Carrick 1 bird, Coleraine 2 birds, Lurgan 4 birds. We have been unable to contact Portadown or Muckamore. There are a total of 130 open prizes in this race and it is still open for a further day. The website will be updated tomorrow evening when more information should be available. Congratulations to Hector Cordner on winning 1st Open, he had the only bird on the day in the NIPA timed in Annaghmore at 23.08hrs. The Cordner loft has had a fantastic 12 months winning the Blue Riband Grand National for Young Birds in last season’s Penzance and now winning the big NIPA event out of France.

East Down Combine have now 17 birds reported with just two bird’s on the day to R McDowell & Son of Annsborough at 21.26hrs and in the same club James Cleland at 10.40pm. R McDowell & Son are the proud winners of the Millar Gold Cup open to all the IHU lofts in Ireland and his was the best bird in Ireland on the day. Ulster Federation had two birds early on the second morning in the Grosvenor, John Ramsey at 6.30am and A & A Fearon at 9.01am. Race marking for the Blue Riband Kings Cup from Saint Allouestre was due on Tuesday but was delayed due to a poor forecast for this Friday. All the detailed reports will be published next week.

Hard National race from St Malo –
The Annaghmore HPS in the Portadown area kept up its fantastic record in the NIPA Old Bird Nat, the feature race of the old bird programme has been now won for the 5th time in the last 10 years. Hector Cordner timed his Red Cheq yearling hen sent on overdue eggs at 11.08pm to record velocity 855, “Home Alone 46” wins pools and prizes of £872 taking 1st Sect E & 1st Open NIPA plus the News of the World, McComb Cup and Pigeon Portal.com Cups to collect at the annual Ladies Night. W G Neill won the race from St Malo in 2010 and before that Glen Buckley and Son won the event on three separate occasions. From Lamballe in 2004, Portland in 2005 and then from Lamballe again in 2007.
The winner had four races in Ireland the Talbenny and the Yearling Nat Sennen Cove, 6th bird home. Birds are not usually trained after racing starts just flown around the loft but this year the five St Malo entries had on 20 mile spin. He missed the bird but found her in the corridor of the loft at dark to be timed in at 11.08pm and end up winning one of the hardest races in recent years from France. The loft is no stranger to top success just last season winning the INFC Blue Riband YB Grand National from Penzance. Breeding of the bird is Jan Theelan on one side through birds purchased from Ian Axe, the other side is his old Busschaert family of birds going back to a batch he obtained when starting the sport again in 1997 from Wayne Kane who was leaving the sport. His 17 birds cost £90 and that included nest bowls and a hamper. Ond Black hen has produced over 30 prize-winners, Hector will tell the whole story in his Year Book article. Many congratulations Hector, two big race wins in just two seasons is more than most could wish for.
Just one NIPA Bird on the Day from St Malo – Sections C, D, F & G Latest update by Steve McGarry PO.
The NIPA were in St Malo for their annual old bird national event. After a one day holdover the birds were released on Sunday 29th June @ 7.30 am. Wind at the release site was a light west/north westerly breeze. The NIPA have witnessed one of the hardest channel seasons to date and St Malo was again a hard testing event. Results are scarce at time of going to press but I will endeavour to inform you of any info I have to hand. There was only one bird on the day of toss. Topping the NIPA O/B National, winning the News Of The World Cup, McComb & Pigeon Portal.com Cups was Hector Cordner from Annaghmore. Hector timed at 11.08pm. Hector found the game yearling in the corridor of the loft but no matter it turned out to be this year’s eventful winner in one of the hardest O/B National events in recent years. The yearling Red hen was Hector’s 6th bird home in the INFC Yearling National and was sent to St Malo sitting on overdue eggs. Breeding: Sire is mainly Busschaert. Dam is Jan Theelan, purchased from Ian Axe. Hectors now adds an Old Bird National victory to his CV having topped the INFC Y/B National from Penzance only last season. Congratulations Hector on your recent top result. Up to the close on the 2nd night approx 80 birds were recorded in the following centres: Larne 5 birds, Lisburn 6 birds, Dromore 3 birds, Newry 9 birds, Doagh 4 birds, Ligoniel 6 birds, Loughgall 13 birds, Coalisland 6 birds, Killyleagh 4 birds, Cullybackey 8 birds, Derry 1 bird, Carrick 1 bird, Coleraine 2 birds, Lurgan 4 birds. Top bird in the Larne centre was to the father/dtrs partnership of Sam Beattie & Dtrs of Carrick & Dist HPS. Sam & Dtrs have a good record in this event and record another top result timing @ 6.18 am early 2nd morning. Their latest top performer is a smart two year old Red hen, known as “Bright Eyes”. She was sent to the race sitting eggs 10 days and was a club winner from Bude earlier in the season. Congratulations to the Beattie family on your recent top performance. Topping the Larne & Dist club, timing @ 9.08 am was Tam Mullen & Sons. Tam and Sons timed a two year old cock sent on three day old young to claim 5th Section C & 13th Open St Malo National. Sire is a Dutch Janssen from good friend B Walsh and the dam a winner of 10th Open Penzance bred by good friends G Rankin & Son Scotland. Topping the Horseshoe club, timing @ 1.27 pm – 2nd day – was Sam Burns who timed his single entry, “Shanlea Lass”, a seven year old Blue Cheq hen, sent to the race on a small youngster. This hen is a previous winner last season of an NIPA Bronze Award having previously won: 10th Sect C & 55th Open St Malo 2012 and 9th Sect C & 35th Open Portland 2013. Her latest top performance will now win her a coveted NIPA Silver Award – Well done Sam –
Topping Carrick Centre – only bird in centre – was Jeff McMaw – Carrick Social. Jeff timed a two year old Busschaert cock to top the club. Having been in the prizes in last season’s Portland National Jeff’s entry is looking good to win an NIPA Bronze Award. Topping Ligoniel Centre and timing 3 of their 6 entries was the Eastway partnership of D & J Campbell & Bigger – Fernlea Lofts . Their first bird was timed at 5.30am early 2nd morning and at time of going to press is the likely winner of 1st Sect C. Their winner was a two year old Blue Cheq hen. Sent to the race on Roundabout this hen was a previous p/winner in the INFC Yearling National last season and this season was 10th Sect & 39th Open Truro and then rested for St Malo.
