Rasharkin & Dist lofts dominate from Tullamore -

The third young bird race of the season was flown from Tullamore in County Offaly and the winners of 1st Mid Antrim Combine this week are J & M Milliken of Rasharkin. This partnership consisting of John Milliken and his grandson Mark are one of the top lofts in area and are always hard to beat right through to France. This week’s winner a blue chequer cock sitting on a small youngster broke from a batch of four and was timed at 12:43pm for the 133 mile fly. The dam is Lambrecht and the sire Van Den Bulk. With a poor weekend weather forecast birds were race marked on Thursday with liberation in Tullamore at 10.11am in a Lt SW wind.
