Kell’s fancier's Jonathan And Laura top the Combine From Talbenny

The opening channel race of the season was flown from Talbenny in County Dyfed in Wales. The NIPA released their 10,665 birds on Saturday 26th May at 8.30am in easterly winds turning south easterly and variable as the day went on. Best in the Mid Antrim Combine this week were Jonathan Barkley and Laura Surgenor of Kells & District who timed at 13.02pm flying 216 miles to the lofts in Moorfields. Their winning blue yearling cock flying on widowhood is a home bred Lambrecht from their racing team last season. A great result for the team who also win 1st Section B and 23rd Open NIPA on velo 1400. Trevor Whyte of Ahoghill was runner up in the Combine with a yearling cheq hen on 1380. Trev's winner is a granddaughter of Paddy and William McManus's "Bad handler Cock" and bloodlines are Jespers-Van der Wegen. Alan Darragh had the top two in Cullybackey, and 3rd Combine on 1379 with a yearling blue cock bred by John Wheatcroft of Pinxton in England. In total Alan had five birds in the top twenty of the Combine. Paddy & William McManus of Ahoghill were 4th Combine on 1379 and remain the only loft to be placed in the Combine top twenty in every race this season and Geoff Surgenor of Kells completed the top five in the Combine on 1376. Johnston Eagleson & Sons were best in Ballymena & District and the Town on 1374 with a 2yo blue pied cock. This cock is bred from half-brother and sister pairing with the grandsire on both sides a son of "DE69" Leo Herman. The winner also contains Paddy and William McManus bloodlines and Lambrecht from Danny Dixon. Frank Dickey was best in Randalstown on 1358 with a yearling chequer cock. This Rudy Van Reeth cock was 3rd club from Roscrea earlier in the season. Next best George Price had his first win of the season in Harryville on 1328, Freddie Barkley had the winner in Rasharkin on 1298 with a 2-year-old white Roland Jansen hen flying to the nest. She was 4th club from Talbenny last year and John Getty was winning for the first time this season in Broughshane on 1217. His winning blue cock is bred from a Lambrecht-Cooreman hen from Jonathan Barkley and Laura Surgenor of Kells and a cock from the late Ken Wilkinson.
