The Rooney boys enjoy their second Federation success of the year followed by mickey Croskery who was chasing his first of the year, although I don’t think his first will be to far away.

Jim Young & Partners complete the hat trick of wins this season to date with a good win from Talbenny, Stephen Brown who many will know can race a pigeon has a super card with four in the top ten of the result, I see Brian Foulis and Ian Gill with a couple of arrivals in the result also.

The Catherwood boys come in front this week with a couple of good arrivals from Talbenny to record their first success of 2009 into the Ballynahinch Social, the Gillespie loft are always not far away and finish third this week. I see Rab Hunter still putting them into the result also after a bit of a marathon party the other evening.

The Lavery lofts collects the second red card of 2009 ahead of Philip Burns who also has a couple of 1st’s to his name so far in 2009, a hard enough race for many, although think returns are ok but a bit spread out as you come to find with the Channel.
