Post by willie reynolds »

McArdle loft from Armagh win Skibbereen National -

The first big race of the old bird season for the NIPA was the Skibbereen National birds were race marked as usual on the Thursday for a Saturday release. A change in the weather for the weekend gave them the opportunity to liberate on Friday and that indeed was the best choice although not pleasing everyone. Just over 4,000 birds were liberated at 9.30am in a Light NW wind and it turned out a steady race with the overall winners the high-flying D C & P McArdle of Armagh recording velocity 1398, to win 1st Open NIPA and the second Nat success having won the YB Skibbereen in 2021 season. Both parents were bred by Danny Dixson of Dunloy, their pure Rudy van Reeth he's on Roundabout, was the1st Club Roscrea winning it by 5 minutes and finishing 3rd Sec E with 3507b and120th Open NIPA 17,203 birds. Ian Gibb & Sons were runner-up followed by A Feeney & Son Gilford, Sammy Ogle of Drumnavaddy 1st Sect G, P & J Boal of Drmore and Rea & Magill of Larne 1st Sect C for the second week.

He also bred Jimmy Rock's 1st Club, 2nd Mid Antrim Combine & 4th Section B Skibbereen Yearling National pigeon. Dam of the winner is his good inbred Superke Lambrechts hen purchased from Danny Dixon when Gary started back in 2013 and she's dam to last year’s 1st Club winner from Fermoy and Skibbereen young bird national. Mr & Mrs Robinson of Cullybackey were Combine runners up on 1354, and also took 4th spot on 1335.
