Homer's Odyssey/BHW PLus - 04/09/09

[willie reynolds]

The Premier YB National was flown from Talbenny in South Wales last weekend, bar the headwind everything looked perfect with the sea calm, sky clear and the sun shining, it was all nearly too good. I thought myself it might be ok, sadly that was not the case and it looks like many birds did not leave the mainland and returns were poor with a number of lofts failing to time any arrivals. The NIPA plus East Coast Fed (Dublin), Ulster Federation and East Down Combine birds were released at 8.00am in a Lt Westerly wind that was to get stronger over the course of the day. The probable winner is Ron Williamson from Bondhill who adds to his open win record, top velocity was 1214. We had a very busy weekend and a number of results are missing, we will catch the rest up later. The season had been going so well, we have come back with a bump and must recover now for the rest of the programme including the Blue Riband YB Nat Penzance. Something like 70 members timed a nominated bird in the Yearling Nat and the Robin Duddy Trophy will go to the best average over both Ylr Nat and Penzance YB Nat. Remember its a 3 Bird Nomination open only to those who paid the entry fee, the winner is the best average over the two races.

Cherryfield Lofts 5th Hotspot flown 22/08/09. 1st H Jennings & Sons 1664, 2nd A & R Milliken 1615.6, 3rd F McCann 1615.0. Thanks to Roy Kennedy and Gary Jennings.

Best in Mid Antrim was Martin Graham of Ballymena & District who timed at 13.29hrs to record velocity 1177 for the 220 miles, this bird was just beat the week previous in a photo finish from Fermoy. Russell Bros were next best for 1st Cullybackey followed by A & N Young 1st Ahoghill, Sammy Steele who had five day birds, George Connolly 1st Harryville followed by R H Clements and then Young McManus & Sons from Ahoghill.
