INFC Skibbereen Double for Derek Walsh of Tower Invitation – A Record 3 x 1sts in 2021

Skibbereen YB Nat was the final race of the season for the INFC, entries were well down as expected and following the race marking in Lisburn on the Wednesday the race was flown as planned on Saturday 18th September with liberation at 9.30am. The race was sponsored by the INFC with 5 bags of pigeon mixture going to each 1st Sect winner as follows: 1st South Section 32/304 D Walsh Tower Invitation vel 1622, 1st North Section 116/1555 Johnston Bros Glen HPS vel 1578, 1st Middle Section 26/136 J Booihman & Son Jun Blanchardstown vel 1460. 174 members have entered 1555 pigeons in the race and were competing for £5301.00 in pools and prize money.

1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th South Sect and 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 5th Open INFC D Walsh, Tower Invitation RPC – Vel 1622, 1622, 1622, 1621 and 1621 flying 105 miles winning £202 and the Tom Marshall Trophy & Diploma to the race winner

Derek Walsh from County Waterford has had a season of great success having fantastic cards and winning both Skibbereen races this season, 1st Open INFC Old Birds and 1st Open INFC Young Birds, not sure that was ever done before, don’t think it was, although Derek Walsh is well placed to give it another go. The YB winners for 1st & 2nd were on the same yard, so equal 1st and added to the OB 1st makes that THREE! – That will probably never be beat!
