The NIPA held their Skibbereen Yearling National on Sunday 12th June. After a one-day holdover due to poor weather conditions the birds were liberated at 8.00am in southwest wind. Best bird in the local area was recorded by Maurice Agnew of Kells & District. Maurice timed his dark chequer cock at 12.28pm flying 258 miles to the lofts in Connor to win 1st Mid Antrim Combine and 1st Section B velo 1691. This cock has been in fine form all season winning 2nd club & 16th Combine from Roscrea and last weekend first club in both the Fermoy and Fermoy 5 bird and 11th MA Combine. The winning cock was gifted to Maurice by his nephew Richard Webster who races in Ballyclare. Breeding is D McElhone x Andre Nauwelaert. Maurice would like to thank Richard for his winning bird. Best in the Town and runners up in the Combine on 1651 were Johnston Eagleson & Sons of Ballymena & Dist. Sire of their blue pied hen is a Lambrecht cock that bred their Combine and Section winner from Gowran Park earlier in the season and the dam was a gift hen from Keith Kernohan of Harryville. This hen contains the best of Keith's Vermeerbergen/Wilms stock. Danny Dixon was next best on 1647 followed by Sam Crawford doing 1614.
