Talbenny YB Nat- Sat 27/08/22

Post by willie reynolds »

Robert Buckley from Annaghmore wins the NIPA Talbenny National -

The premier YB National for the NIPA was flown as planned on Saturday 27th August the birds having been race marked of Thursday at various Marking Centres.
The Secretary Fred Russell reported - As you are aware the Talbenny birds were released this morning at 8.30am, Wind direction was a light North Easterly. Indications are that they cleared well, hopefully this proves to be correct

376 members sent 3191 pigeons making 213 NIPA Open prizes. Sect A 176 Pigeons is 12 Prizes, Sect B 404 Pigeons is 27 Prizes, Sect C 593 Pigeons is 40 Prizes, Sect D 330 Pigeons is 22 Prizes, Sect E 950 Pigeons is 63 Prizes, Sect F 90 Pigeons is 6 Prizes, Section G 432 Pigeons is 29 Prizes, Sect H 70 Pigeons is 5 Prizes. Total prize & pools £1,5433.00.

Looking back to last season I see the Portadown based Annaghmore HPS filled the top two positions for R D Calvin and P Boyd, the area dominated the top places in 2022 with Annaghmore HPS lofts to the fore with Robert Buckley 1st, 2nd and 3rd Open and next best G Buckley & Son 4th, 7th, 10th and 11th Open. Top cash winner was David Calvin with two early arrivals in Bondhill Social finishing 5th & 6th Open NIPA collecting £1,393.

Gary Simmons writes - Had the privilege of visiting the lofts of Bob Buckley (Robert) this morning, I’ve known Bob for many years he’s a top lad and he just lets the pigeons do the talking, the smile on his face when I called this morning just showed how much this result means to him, taking the Top 3 in Talbenny YB National also winning the Drumnavaddy Gold Ring race is some achievement and what a way to win your first open. He was telling me his dad’s birds (Glen Buckley) landed with his own 3. Robert just lives up the hill from Glen, so he chased the pigeon away and it dived down into Glen only 10 seconds separating the clocking times of all 4 birds on the same velocity 1313. Now that’s racing! Robert ,comes from a family steeped of quality pigeon racers. His late grandfather Sammy Buckley was a well-known loft throughout the country and had a record second to none, his father Glen of (Glen Buckley & son) is without doubt one of the top lofts in the country, a name you will always see in any result, only to be bridesmaid to his son on this occasion. Well done again mate well deserved, and couldn’t happen to a nicer fella, best of luck for rest of season. Simmo PO.
