For the second year the NIPA opening race from Mullingar was topped by a local loft, last season it was T & J McDonald 1st Open for Coleraine Prem and this same bird was well placed again. The Ballymoney loft of J Hutchinson & Son timed their winner at 1.59pm flying 114 miles to record velocity 1685. Liberation of the NIPA in Mullingar was at Noon in a Lt South East wind.
Billy Hutchinson said I have called the bird ‘Patricia’ after my mum. The Blue hen is a 2 year old Hartog raced on Roundabout. Both parents were supplied from Glen Smith of G & S Smith Cookstown. I would also like to thank all the fanciers who texted or rang to congratulate me on my success, well done Billy.
