J Eagleson & Sons Ballymena & District –

 

This is a story from the beginning when the Eagleson Busschaerts began to shine in Ireland right up to the current pigeons raced in the present day.

Johnston Eagleson was born and raised in Ballymena in 1949, after leaving school he raced a few pigeons for fun, played for his local football teams on a Saturday morning and afternoon and also done a bit of sea angling. The pigeon bug had never left Johnston and in 1982 at the age of 33 he decided to take up pigeon racing again.
