2nd Roscrea - Friday 28/04/23

Post by willie reynolds »

NIPA have early liberation in Roscrea –

The weather continued to cause problems in the early part of the old bird season and some organisations including the big NIPA decided to race mark Thursday and hope to release the next day. Liberation early on Friday was not possible but the big convoy of 23,000 plus birds were eventually released at 1.15pm in a Lt Westerly wind. Winning birds again made good time, but the birds were well split up and very few lofts reported full returns at the race checking. The vast majority made home lofts before darkness fell, overall, it was a bit of a test especially for the far flying lofts in the City of Derry. Jeff Greenaway from the Hills & Maze had a dream result 1st Sect D and 1st Open NIPA with the best of P&D Racing & Breeding Stud UK. Could I ask for all winners including 1st Section to forward info of the winner and where possible a photo of the team or individual fancier holding the bird. I cover the NIPA Sections A, B, E & H. Deadlines are tight, and all info and photos should be sent ASAP after each race.
