Despite the poor weather forecast East Down Combine decided to travel to Talbenny and hope for a liberation, they were well rewarded able to liberate in South Wales on Saturday at Noon in a SW wind. It looks like the race was a great success and the overall winner into Killyleagh was Herbie McVeigh doing velocity 1391 and 1st East Sect. Runner-up G Morrison & Daughters from Ballynahinch were 1st West Sect.
