The NIPA moved to Clonmel last weekend and there was a substantial drop in entries with 53 members sending 462 birds. Again with a mainly westerly wind the birds were well spread out although returns seem better than the previous week. Claiming top spot is Maiden City fancier Eamon Quigley whose loft location at Inch Island, is well off the line of flight. Eamon also has another timing in 17th spot. Liam Hegarty & Son take 2nd and 16th Fed while Mickey Harkin takes 3rd. Nicka Concannon secures 4th Fed with Damien Dunne & Kieran Quigley taking 5th & 20th.
