Skibbereen Inl OB National - 2008

[willie reynolds]

The birds were held in Skibbereen on both Wednesday and Thursday due to weather problems at the race-point, conditions improved on Friday 30th May and release was possible at 12.30pm in an ENE wind. Hutchinson Bros from Ashfield have won 1st Open INFC beating the Doonan & McGuinness team from Dromore in a decimal point finish. Ten days earlier Hutchinson Bros won the NIPA Rosscarbery Nat for back to back National wins, some consolation from Doonan & McGuinness who won 1st Prize of £2,500 in the Dundonald 3 Bird Championship.

More details will follow and this page will be updated over the next few days. Remember we are looking for details of the Top 10 birds, plus any photos, to include with the detailed race report.

Monday morning seen me tidying up the column after a Sunday night without sleep, unless you are used to doing this type of work, you will never realise the amount of hours involved its madness, anyway got the work read up and took the good lady out for some lunch, before heading off to the Waterloo Road for the ring making of the Irish National Flying Club birds competing in the Skibbereen Inland O/B National.

The attendance and birdage was down on the previous year which had seen a 33% rise but this was reverted back to normal, the reports of dodgy weather mid week didnt help and the uncertainty as to whether they would seek to liberate on Tuesday as they had previously done the last couple of years left many wondering what way to feed, really the weather was very unpredictable during the course of the whole week and this resulted in holdovers on both Wednesday and Thursday, with the race controller holding the faith and nerve on Friday with the convoy of 2,413 birds presented by 354 fanciers from all over Ireland being liberated in Skibbereen at 12.30pm in a East/North East Wind. Many of the experienced war horses new how long it would take with the wind conditions and also taking into consideration the birds had been in the Geraldy built tranpsorter from Monday tea time. Many I spoke to were spot on with their timings.

Overall winner by .08 of a yard was the loft of Davy Hutchinson for those of you excluding the fanciers from Ireland who are readying this and saying to themselves I know that name, well last week in the RP a loft profile was published on this very same fancier after he topped the NIPA National from Rosscarbery last Monday, so back to back National with two different organisations in the O/Bird racing programme, I put Hutchinson Brothers down as the first to ever accomplish this fate although I stand to be corrected as always. The winning pigeon very similar to the last weeks National success, yet again a Blue Yearling Hen racing on the Widowhood system, coming down from the excellent family of Soontjens sourced from Tony Marden all those years ago, (refer to last weeks loft profile for further info). This National winning hen Unbelievable was clocked at 17.41pm flying 234 miles, sire is a direct Luc Guernhix when mated to a pigeon carrying the bloodlines of two fantastic racers namely Impreza she is 99 bred and has produced countless winners year in year out including 2 x 1st Section winners including 4 x pigeons over a 4 year period that competed in the NIPA Five Bird Mallow race they finished 1st Section, 2nd Section, 2nd Section and 4th Section, she herself has won over 16 X NIPA Open Positions as well as 8 x 1st Clubs and 2 x 1st Sections some of the highlights of her incredible racing career included 5th Open against 6,256 pigeons, 16th Open against 18,277 pigeons, 8th Open against 21,704 pigeons, 29th Open against 25,163 pigeons and 95th against 16,768 pigeons. In 2006 a son of this hen won the Dromore National Centre by 115 yards out of the Mallow 5 Bird race, and finished 12th Open. Leo is the other outstanding pigeon on the Sires side of things and what a pigeon he is also again 8 x 1st Clubs to his name and 2 x 1st Sections he is also Sire of the pigeon that finished 2nd Open Mallow Five Bird Race last year the one that Davy was beat by decimals for the Open. As you can see decimal points are a thing for the Hutchy loft but this time they favoured the right side, very well done to Davy, Annette and daughter Leanne.

Second open and you must feel so sorry for a pigeon coming so close beat by the second decimal point, this is the loft of Doonan & McGuinness of Dromore they timed a couple of good arrivals first one at 5.43pm flying 236 miles with the next one landing at 6.03pm. Only a couple of months back 75 year old Rowan Doonan suffered the loss of his racing partner of 20 years 81 year old John McGuinness who was an inspiration about the garden on a race day, many quoted to me his bark was worse than his bite, a more dedicated fancier and friend you will search long to find. Together they raced impeccably into the Dromore town topping the NIPA Open in no less than 3 occasions namely from Mallow 17,165 birds, Fermoy 1247 birds and Rosscarbery O/B Derby 7,949. We will not even mention the section positions as their were many, John passed away in April of this year and Rowan decided to continue to race in the name that had brought much success over the long enjoyed 20 year period, assisted by son Wayne who has set about establishing a stud in the Dromore Town by the name of Cock Crow Breeding Stud. The Doonan & McGuinnes partnership clocked a Blue 2 year old widowhood cock of Janssen/Van Loon breeding what a racer he is previously winning 1st Club, 27th North Section, 56th Open Skibbereen O/B National; 1st Club, 6th Section D, 23rd Open Mallow 5 Bird; 1st Club 3rd Section D, 28th Open Roscrea and 2nd Club, 20th Section D, 112th Open Rosscarbery Inland O/B National. Bred at the new breeding Stud by young Wayne himself. Now the Sire is a super racer himself a Van Loon named Rambo winner of 1st Club, 1st Section D, 17th Open Mallow 5 Bird; 1st Club, 2nd Section D, 3rd Open Mallow 5 Bird; 1st Club, 6th Section D, 19th Open Mallow 5 Bird; 1st Club, 5th Section D, 18th Open Carnsore Point; 3rd Club, 10th Section D, 100th Open Barleycove 60th Anniversary Race winning £1,000. To put the icing on the cake for the Doonan boys, the Dundonald HPS decided to run a 3 Bird Challenge at the start of the season, you had to nominate 3 pigeons before the end of April priced at £50 each these birds would then compete against each other come the O/B Skibbereen Inland National, Rowans pigeon was one of the nominated birds and will lift the newly presented glass cut Gibb & Byrne trophy plus a cool cheque for £2,500. Very well done to Rowan and son Wayne.

3rd North Section and 3rd Open goes to a partnership of brothers who are no strangers to the big stage namely Donnelly Brothers of Newry City, they clocked their 2 year old Roundabout Blue Bar Cock at 5.29pm flying 224 miles of the top of my head, this cock was timed previously in the Yearling National finishing 9th Open and finished in the top 20 from the Rosscarbery Y/B National, he is a direct son of the 1st Open Bude winner Ballybay Destroyer bred by Tom Nelson of Dublin what a class pigeon of the Donnellys and one to look for in the future.

4th North Section and 4th Open is the East Down Combine maestro John Patterson, what a record this man has and at the age of eighty still going strong some say stronger than ever, called to see him on Saturday afternoon to arrange a loft profile very soon, this will cover some pages when completed so keep an eye for that one. Anyway back to the task on hand John timed a 2 year old Soontjen Cheq Hen flying on the Widowhood system at 6.11pm flying 250 miles. She has been a very steady racer over the last couple of season and was a Glenavy Gold Ringer a couple of seasons ago finishing 7th Open, she is bred down from the famous 33 hen who has bred a stack of Combine winners of the years, I do believe Ronnie Johnston is in the process of doing a piece on this magnificent breeder.

5th Open another loft who are no strangers to the limelight Paul McCartan & David Woodside of Crossgar this loft won the Y/B version of this race a couple of seasons ago finishing 1st North Section and 12th Open. This time they finish 5th North Section and 5th Open with a Soontjen Smokey Blue Yearling Cock flying on the roundabout system. They timed their winner at 6.04pm flying 243 miles. The Dam of this cock is a class pigeon in her own right, she is the lofts representation in this year Single Bird Challenge organized by David Black previously she has finished 75th Open Kings Cup, 24th National Portsmouth and will certainly be battling her way home this year trying to complete the treble. She is carrying the best of the Frank Sheadder bloodlines coming down from the lines of the 601. The Sire is an exceptional pigeon also who has 2 credible red cards to his name before being put to stock, well done boys.

Lisburn bound for 6th Open again no strangers to success the One Loft Maestros Ian Gibb & Sons of Derriaghy, they timed their Blue W/F Cock at 6.08 flying 246 miles and this pigeon was also nominated in the Dundonald 3 Bird Challenge winning the second cut of the prize money so a cool payout of £1,000. This yearling widowhood cock is already a prize winner at Club level and should have been setting nicely at the top of the NIPA Open a couple of weeks ago having arrived home early with a stray and flew around and around as they do losing close to 7 minutes (didnt fly around so much this time). He is bred from a Van Loon hen of Kevin Lawson breeding when mated to one of the partnerships own Soontjens this particular stud cock has already sired 4 winners. The Gibb lofts boast one of the most impressive families of the Soontjen strain probably in Europe. The boys sent five pigeons and I was present with them for most of the evening including at the Hillfoot clocking centre, they had four of the five home before we left for the centre and the first three home were the 3 nominated in the 3 Bird Dundonald Challenge hows that for picking. The Gibb & Byrne team have a pretty impressive Stud catalogue out and well worth a look if you get the chance.

7th Open shifts down the road a couple of miles and like the Gibb Family Tom Marshall & Son are also very well organised and supported feed merchants. Tom Marshall & Son David have a very impressive set up and equally impressive birds, seen Tom at the Hillfoot clocking centre and as always was working very hard, the boys timed a very well experienced 3 year old Blue Cock flying on the Widowhood system again of Soontjen breeding, just look how many Soontjens are in the top ten of this result one of the most consistent families of pigeons to ever come into Ireland and as proved by McCartan & Woodside who finished 5th Open they have timed them from France. Tom & David Marshalls experienced cock arrived at 6.06pm flying 244 miles and this pigeon was 6th Open in the East Down Combine result last week, Tom tells me that he is absolutely bouncing and is only now starting to hit peak form no surprise really as this is were Tom Marshall seems to take over when others start to fall back, the loft having a quick count have 6 in the money, great team work obviously by a loft of birds in tip top form.

8th Open takes us back down to Crossgar and to the loft of Sammy Duke racing as S & K Duke, the team are racing very well and it is a name I am often typing each weekend flying with the East Down Combine. Sammy timed his Blue Yearling Widowhood cock at 6.08pm flying 245 miles, a very good pigeon on the day and having been clocked in the East Down Combine Y/B Derby Result last year looks the makings of a real good pigeon a full brother of him finished 9th Open East Down Combine from the same Race point last weekend. Sammy is currently taking on the role of stand in Secretary for the East Down Combine and is doing a great job.

9th North Section and 9th Open goes to the consistent Joe Vage Junior. Was talking with Joe on Sunday and made enquires about his father Joe Senior but Joe junior tells me there has been very little change but he is still taking an interest in the pigeons and that is often the topic of conversation when he visits him. Joe sent four pigeons to this race and got 3 recorded arrivals in the space of 22 mins with the 4th arriving before he left for the Banbridge Clocking Centre, the first one home at 17.56pm was a Dark Cheq Yearling Widowhood cock flying 236 miles, this pigeon was the 3rd pigeon to the loft last year from the Rosscarbery Y/B National and the nest mate of it has already scored a 1st club, 2nd Section D and 15th Open from Fermoy. The breeding is Soontjen on the Sires side when mated to a Van Den Bosche hen. Well done Joe and pass on my regards to your father.

To round up the Top 10 we are back down the country a bit to the lofts of John Dowey & Son of Tandragee. John is having a smashing season this year and I think this makes it his 7th Club success already in 2008. The Dowey loft timed a 2 year old Cheq Cock at 5.43pm flying 226 miles this pigeon has been a steady racer every week this year but pulled out all the stops to beat the rest home this time he is bred of pigeons obtained from the late Cyril Fletcher son of the Late Bertie Fletcher not surprising then that the bloodlines are FVW and Zantboer, very well done John and keep up the good flying. Well thats a quick round-up of the top ten in the First INFC National of the year and with the Yearling National due to be flown next Wednesday it wont be to long before you will be reading yet another National round-up.
