Coyle Bros Maiden City, 1st Open NIPA Mullingar –

Maiden City Loft takes 1^st Open NIPA Mullingar –

For the opening old bird race of 2019 the weather was the main concern and a lot of lofts decided to not take any chances and wait for better conditions. It was cold and windy and the Easterly wind was the last thing the local fanciers were looking for. The conditions did not deter the lofts in Derry City, who were always the favourites to be best placed, and that’s how it turned out with all the top NIPA Open positions. It was interesting to note the top two birds were both 4 year old, how often do you get that when yearlings would tend to dominate. Coyle Bros of the Maiden City topped the NIPA on velocity 1818 with a bird bred from a pair of Soontjen’s supplied by Matt Wray of Harryville, and he himself will be pleased with that. Runner-up was Raymond McAteer who had 1^st Strabane & District.
