Roscrea (2) - 07/08/10

[willie reynolds]

The NIPA was back in Roscrea last week and yet again a late liberation was experienced by the 64 fed members who had sent 831 birds. With a north/westerly wind prevailing velocities were down and the birds were well split up. Taking the top spot this week are Danny and Gary Cooley who will be delighted with this performance on such a difficult flying day. Rock member Eamon Quigley puts up a great team performance to take 2nd,3rd,5th & 6th Fed while the Bonemaine loft of Kieran Quigley and Damien Dunne have 2 in the frame for 4th & 17th.

Other results: 7th,9th & 20th - M McCloskey; 8th & 16th - A McCrudden; 10th & 13th- P & M Healy; 11th - S Gallagher; 12th - J McLaughlin; 14th - L & M Moran; 15th & 18th - Concannon Bros; 19th - J Cassidy.
