Decimal Point finish in the Skibbereen National –

The opening race of the year for the INFC was Skibbereen OB Nat, with uncertain weather a number of lofts either kept their entries down or just decided to give the event a miss. I think at the ring marking we were able to avoid any long delays and with a bit of extra help here and there things can only get better. Muckamore Centre was already running with the clock checking and I had not the usual time available to take photos etc, many thanks to Harry McCloy who assisted on the computer and got the list of leading velocities out very quick. What a finish it turned out with East Antrim lofts involved with the best positions, the best Card of the Day was produced by D & J Campbelkl & Bigger from Eastway, but top spot was filled by Bingham & Seaton from Ligoniel who won 1st Centre in a photo finish doing velocity 1550. Results placed on www.pigeonnetwork.com have been included here.
