NIPA Section B OB of the Year 2023
Harold Cubitt of Rasharkin & District had an excellent old bird season with his small team of widowhood cocks winning the club on nine occasions. The star of the loft was his yearling cheq cock bred from his old family of pigeons. This cock won 4 x 1st and topped the Mid Antrim Combine from Tullamore and Fermoy and had a further five positions in the Combine and in total six positions in the Section. The best open position won was 8th in the opening race of the season from Tullamore with 14,849 birds competing. It was no surprise when the yearling cock won the Mid Antrim Combine and Section B old bird of the year awards for 2023. Mervyn Eagleson PO.
