The second Talbenny race was a lot better than the week previous, this was also the first leg of the RPRA Meritorious Award, single bird performance in each NIPA Sect from Talbenny (2) and Penzance. Sect E lofts dominated this result with Markethill lofts up at the top, A Humphries & Son 1st Open NIPA on velocity 1390 with M McDowell & Son a couple of yards behind. Well done Markethill HPS, it would be helpful if every 1st Sect winner contacted their Area Scribe with winning bird details and if possible a photo. It gets very busy at this time of the year with numerous races and any help with the publicity would be greatly appreciated.
