BELMONT LOFT TOPS

As mentioned last week the scheduled 4th race of the Old Bird programme was to have been from Mallow but the venue was changed to Cashel and the next problem was to decide on what would be the most suitable day to hold the race . Saturday April 30th was a wash out and the Sunday did not look suitable either so a decision was taken to race mark on the Sunday night with a view to getting the race on the Monday which was the May Bank Holiday but it was the middle of the day before the weather was deemed suitable to liberate so the convoy were away at 12noon into a light Northerly wind which saw just one bird making a velocity of over 1300ypm and this was the open winner to the Belmont lofts of R & J Conlane . Runners up were the Dundonald partnership of Cowan & McCartney on 1299 with Newtownbreda’s B Hogg & Sons 3rd open on 1278 and these were the leading West Section birds .

At 4th open 1st East section was the Donaghadee lofts of D & K McCutcheon and in the section this was followed by 3 Bangor lofts ,Burgess &Brennan , Davy Shaw & Lambert & Stewart .
The top places in Open and section and nominated birds was :

Open 107 members sent 2927 birds
