Loft in form Sam Murphy wins 1st Open NIPA Bude
On Sunday 12th June Kells & District fancier Sam Murphy recorded his best result when he won 1st Section B and with it m1st Open NIPA Bude with 4035 birds competing. With strong southwest winds on the channel on the Saturday the NIPA decided to hold over in Bude in Cornwall hoping for a better day on the Sunday. Come Sunday the winds had eased a little and the birds were liberated at 8.00am in west to southwest winds and another very tough channel race was on the cards. Sam Murphy timed his 2-year-old blue hen racing on roundabout at 14.31pm flying almost 284 miles to his Groggan Crescent lofts in Randalstown. This brilliant hen has been top form on the channel for Sam winning 5th Combine, 7th Section B & 123rd Open NIPA Talbenny (1) and last week 1st Combine, 1st Section B and 13th Open NIPA Talbenny (2). The Sticker Donckers hen was purchased in a kit of young birds from Gary Gibson of Cullybackey. Sam has retired the hen for the season and plans to breed a couple of latebreds from her. Whether she races again we shall wait and see. Sam had a great race with a further six birds in the section result. Dunloy's Danny Dixon had the next best two birds in both Combine and Section followed by the Cullybackey winner Gary Gibson who timed a yearling blue pied cock feeding a 5 day old chick. Sire is a son of Jimmy Rock's Talbenny YB National winner and Penzance OB Classic winner and dam a granddaughter of Danny Dixon's "Dixie Chic". Stewart Bros the Randalstown winners were next best with a yearling Vandenabeele cock through Peter Martin. Other winners included Mr & Mrs Robinson the Ahoghill winners on 1209, Allen McBride with the top six in Harryville on 1173. Allen's winner is bred from his No1 pair, the "McBride Hen" when paired to a son of Jimmy Rock's 11th Open INFC Sennen Cove Yearling National cock of 2014. This pair have bred a host of National positions for Allen and others and a 1st Section & 3rd Open Talbenny for Jimmy Rock. Johnston Eagleson & Sons had the top four in Ballymena & Dist on 1168 and Freddie Barkley best in Rasharkin doing 1119.
