The weekend race will be remembered for a long time, liberated in Fermoy on Sunday afternoon at 2.00pm bad weather caught the longer flyers and a massive number of local birds did not home on the day of liberation. Club results are few and far between but one thing is for sure top lofts were again doing all the winning. The big YB National races from Talbenny and Penzance are coming up shortly I would imagine very few lofts will be recovered in time for them, training might just be finished as well. We have a lot of very unhappy fanciers about this weekend.
Cullybackey Centre details – Club monies for the Talbenny Nat will be lifted on Wednesday 24th August at Cullybackey HPS Clubrooms between 8.30pm and 9.30pm. Race marking at Cullybackey will be on Thursday 25th August between 3.30pm and 6.00pm and all ETS systems must be cleared of all races. T3 Clocks will be ready after lorry leaves Cullybackey Centre.

Windsor Social loft wins 1st Sect B – Madden best in Coleraine
Best bird locally was timed in Bushmills by Trevor Scott & Son at 18.24hrs flying 219 miles in 4 hours and 24 minutes. The longest flying members in Sect B timed a Mealy cock the very best of near neighbours A & R McAuley Sticker Donkers. He was the first bird to the loft the week previous from Gowran Park. Well done Trevor and Logan, great result into Bushmills. Secretary J L Madden wins his first young bird race of the season in the Coleraine Premier, recording velocity 1470 for best in the Coleraine Triangle.
