R Service & Son Top Combine from Tullamore -

The penultimate inland race of the season was the comeback event from Tullamore in County Offaly. The birds were released at 12 noon on Saturday 4th September in a light southeast wind. The best bird in the Mid Antrim Combine was timed at 14.33pm to the Drumtara lofts of Robert Service & Son Robin of the Ballymena & District club to record velocity 1434. Their winning red cock now named "Wee Rab" was sent driving it's hen and is C & C Lambrechts from Swannington Lofts of Leicestershire. The sire is a double grandson of Ref A cock Bill Duckworth's and the dam is inbred to "Liam" Last week the cock was placed 2nd club and 14th Combine in the Fermoy 5 bird. This was the Service lofts second Combine win of the season having topped both Combine and Section from Roscrea in the second week of the old bird season. I think anyone who knows Robin will be truly happy for him after this result having in the past month suffered the loss of his mum Eva and his dad and racing partner Robert. Around the other local clubs and Freddie Barkley topped Rasharkin on 1433, Young McManus & Sons won Ahoghill on 1430, Surgenor Bros best in Kells on 1413, Gary Gibson had the top four in Cullybackey on 1408 and Keith Kernohan had the Harryville winner on 1393.
