Danny Dixon wins 1st & 2nd MAC 2nd Fermoy -

The penultimate young bird race for the NIPA was flown on Thursday 1st September with the birds released at 10.30am in light east to north easterly winds. Dunloy's Danny Dixon had the best two birds in Mid Antrim and also won 1st & 2nd NIPA Open with 9,122 birds competing. This was the second time in the young bird's that Danny topped the NIPA Open having already won 1st & 2nd Open from Tullamore. Danny's first bird a blue Wildermersch hen timed at 14.56pm flying 208 miles is bred from a sister of Dixie Chick when paired to a son of Dixie Chick. His second bird timed 44 seconds later is a Hereman Ceuster from Derek Nicholls of Premier Stud.

Next best Johnston Eagleson & Sons were best in Ballymena & District and the Town for the fifth time in the young birds after timing at 14.53pm flying 201 miles to the Cullybackey Road loft's. Their winning blue chequer Van den Bulck x Hereman Ceuster hen sitting on youngsters was best in the town by 12 minutes. Her sire was purchased from Trevor Simpson of York and is a grandson of "De69" and "Boonen Boy" and the dam was from Jackie Steele of Rasharkin and is a granddaughter of "Pussycat". Best in Ahoghill was Trevor Whyte who took the top three club positions. His winner bred by good friend's and clubmate's Paddy & William McManus is Alex Docx x Karel Laenen. Trevor's second bird is a nephew of his NIPA open winner from Tullamore in the opening race of the old bird season. Freddie Barkley had the winner in Rasharkin with a blue cock bred from his good 4 x 1st cock when paired to a Roland Janssen hen. Winning Kells & District for the second week on the trot were Jonathan Barkley and Laura Surgenor with a blue cock containing the bloodlines of Janssen, Hartog, Stickers Donckers and Van Reet. Keith Kernohan was best in Harryville with the same blue cock that has a hat trick of wins from the Fermoy 5 bird, last weekend's Talbenny National and this week’s Fermoy. Keith's winner a Vermeerbergen x Wilms cock is bred from his No 1 pair Luc x The Gift that have now bred 10 x 1st. The cock was also one of Keith's Drumnavaddy Golden Rings and finished 1st Section B & 13th Open in Talbenny Gold Ring race. Gary Gibson was best in Cullybackey with a dark pied Lambrecht cock on 1281, Marcus Morrow best in Broughshane on 1205 and Anthony McNeill best in Randalstown for the second week on the trot on 1199. Mervyn Eagleson PO.
