Fermoy was the race point for the Combine’s 6th Young Bird race and this turned out to be erratic for many when the 2,700 birds were released at 10.30 am into a SE wind . Looking down the results the erratic nature if the race can be seen from the velocities which in the Open ranged from 1769 ypm for the winner down to 1467 for the last open position and club results also reflected this trend .
The open winners were to the Dundonald partnership of Myles, Kincaid , McCann & Auld well clear on 1769 of the runners up also in Dundonald to Cowan & McCartney . Over to Bangor then for the next two to Reggie & David Moore who have had another successful season and then it was back to Dundonald to complete the first six in the open with 5th to Jim Young & ptnrs and 6th to Mark Foulis who has just had further success with 4th north Section in the INFC Skibbereen National .
The full result for Open ,section and nominated birds is as follows :
