Sunday 8th July 2018
Saint Allouestre King’s Cup. 71 pigeons have been recorded in the race and the lowest third day velocity is 291.11. Any fourth day arrival with a better velocity would qualify for a position.
Muckamore Station St Allouestre – R J Elliott Ballymoney 595, Lynch Bros Ballycarry & Dist 587, Jimmy Burrows Eastway 585, Noel Lusty Muckamore 584, Jeff McMaw Carrick Social RPC 512, D & R Turkington Doagh & Dist 481, R Johnston Kingsmoss 423, M Graham Ballymena 411, M Graham Ballymena 405, R Little 399.
Mid Antrim Combine St Allouestre – Martin Graham Ballymena & Dist 411, Martin Graham Ballymena 405. Yet another big result for Martin Graham, recording the only two arrivals in the MAC in the Grand Nat for St Allouestre coming on top of his 1st MAC in the earlier Yearling Nat from Sennen Cove. Well deserved for the Ace Ballymena loft who over recent years has dominated in the INFC events at Ballymena & District, this run of results is the best ever. A big effort by the fancier himself and a small family of birds that are scoring at the extreme distance.
