Homer's Odyssey - 17/06/11

[willie reynolds]

At the weekend the NIPA realesed in both Bude and Fermoy for the 5 Bird Championship, the Bude liberation was at the early time of 7.45am and included all Irish organizations including Ulster Federation, East Coast Fed (Dublin) and the East Down Combine. Fermoy release was at 9.00am in a Lt NW wind and it turned out an excellent event, Bude was a lot more difficult and the cross channel programme has been hard so far, Penzance is due this weekend and then we go to France for the OB Nat and the Kings Cup from Plaudren/Vannes.

The best bird in the Coleraine Triangle was timed by G Donaghy Son & Grandson who had 1st Windsor Social (1187), followed by the top two in the Coleraine Premier Diamond Bros and Paul O’Connor and then Darren Tosh who had 1st Coleraine & County Derry (1150). It’s getting harder now at the distance, Penzance is this weekend.

Foyle Valley Combine Bude 48/227 – N Murray Londonderry 1096, W & D Hamilton Rock 1082, N Murray 1060, Concannon Bros Maiden City 1041, J & G Ramsey Derry & Dist 982, P McLaughlin Maiden City 963, J & D Kelly Londonderry 945, G McGavigan Strabane 935, L & M Moran Derry & Dist 927, J & D Kelly 909. A great result for Noel, he tells me the last time he sent to Bude was 1994, and he also topped the Combine. France here we come.

After two testing races the numbers were reduced for the Bude event, in Mid Antrim 80 members sent 757 birds, released at 7.45am the NIPA with Ulster Fed, East Coast Fed (Dublin) and East Down Combine. At the home end we had sunshine and some very heavy showers in the late afternoon. The early bird was timed in Cullybackey at The Rock made famous for long distance racing by the Reid Bros and now in the capable hands of young Harry McCloy. His yearling Red cock was timed at 2.32pm flying 292 miles to record velocity 1265, 1st Club, 1st Mid Antrim Combine and favourite for 1st Sect B. In Cullybackey Russell Bros were next best, former NI Fanciers of the Year followed by J & J Greer former Kings Cup winners. Tom McAlonan had the winner in Ballymena & Dist (1213), another loft that looks forward to the longer races followed by W & J Smyth who are having another top season timing two early birds. Houston Bros were 1st Randalstown (1213), George Price 1st Harryville (1196), McFall & McManus 1st New Antrim Amal (1195), J & N Simpson 1st Broughshane (1194) and Milliken & Barkley 1st Rasharkin & Dist (1192), they topped the Combine & Sect B from Talbenny.

The Champions League had a super Semi-Final with Danny Dixon a former winner v S Millar and Alan Darragh v Paddy McManus of Ahoghill who has had a fantastic old bird season to date. Result: D Dixon 1165, S Millar 1178, P McManus 1171, A Darragh 1075. That makes the Champions League Final from Penzance this weekend Simon Millar (Randalstown) v Young McManus & Sons (Ahoghill). What a contest this should be, good luck to both lofts who have won almost 20 races between them.
