2nd Navan YB - Friday 22/07/22

[willie reynolds]

The weather forecast for the 2nd young bird race from Navan was for poor weather not only on the proposed race day of Saturday 23rd July but also for a number of days following ,so taking this on board the weather committee very wisely decided to opt for a Thursday basketing with a possible Friday race and what a beautiful day the Friday turned out to be with a light Northerly wind and plenty of sunshine which saw the birds away at 9.30am.

The top four in the Open were again to the West section with Newtownbreda club’s Cousins & Albert partnership heading the field for another 1st open placing . John Patterson of Ballylesson never for from the top was runner up and then Dundonalds Jim Young & ptnrs got two together for 3rd & 4th open . Then it was over to the East section and the Cloughey club with 3 birds to Gordon Bros & sons and then three to Harper & Young to complete the top ten in the open and the top Section places . It was an excellent race with 114 members entering 4024 birds and the provisional top placing were:
