Barley Cove OB Inl Nat – 25/05/19

Barley Cove OB Inl Nat – 25/05/19

Last weekend the NIPA arranged two races from County Cork, the annual Old Bird Inland Nat was delayed by one week and was this year on the 7th weekend, Barley Cove was the choice giving extra distance. Birds were transported from the various Marking Centres on Thursday and then on Friday birds were collected at Collection Points to travel to Fermoy for the come-back event. Weather problems delayed both liberations till lunch time and both were released in a West SW wind. Most of the recent races have been difficult and it was the same again at the weekend, blow homes have disappeared. The Barleycove OB National was won by J Hall & Son of Harmony HPS and Fermoy by Gary Murphy in the high flying Ballyholland HPS in Newry City.
