Return results early over the weekend especially for Mid Antrim Combine with members and birds to be listed please. Cullybackey have returned, and we look forward to a majority vote coming from both the Harryville HPS and Broughshane & District to allow those clubs to participate in the annual Champions League. I hardly need to remind all lofts that an opt out rule was passed, several years back now, to help those who have no interest in the MAC Competition to withdraw without involving the whole club. That’s the way forward for the handful of lofts that are still racing together in what is the twilight of the sport locally. Big sportsmanship decision required from what was always from I remember, the Sport of Pigeon Racing. Remember I need the list from each member club, their racing members for the OB League and Knock-out competitions and the four lofts nominated to compete in the annual Champions League. Mervyn Eagleson will as usual, supply the MAC race report, please help him out all you can.
