Mid Antrim Combine Update

In Ballymena Blair & Rankin had the Card of the Day 9 birds timed in under half an hour and the winner recording velocity 1168 finished runner up in the MAC in the 5 Bird Classic. Liberation in Fermoy had been delayed due to overcast conditions and very cold. The strings were cut and birds were released at 11.00am in blue sky and sunshine and a light Northerly wind. For the NIPA it was the hardest race of the young bird season and a top result for Blair & Rankin who have been fantastic this year. Their winner timed at 4.02pm was flying 201 miles into Chichester Park, this Blue hen bred by Steele & McNeill of Rasharkin & Dist has already won 1st Open in the NIPA from Mullingar. H & R McCloy had 1st Cullybackey (1151) and Surgenor Bros had 1st Kells & Dist (1142).
