The fifth race of the NIPA old bird programme was flown from Fermoy in Co Cork on Saturday 12th May, just over 28,000 birds were released at 9.00am in a West to NW wind. The best bird was recorded in Kingswood by the Kemp & McBride partnership winning 1st Sect D & 1st Open NIPA doing velocity 1594 followed by three birds in the East Antrim Sect C. Only a yard separated Gregg Bros & McCandless, Bingham & Seaton and M & T Griffith, and Donnelly Bros were 5th Open topping the NIPA Sect G a yard ahead of M/M G Delaney.

Race five of the season and we are pushing the two hundred mile mark with the birds at Fermoy in County Cork writes Billy Knox. People must be thinking there’s something in the Derry water as yet again we have another Section winner. The honour this week goes to Pat McLaughlin from the Maiden City club. Pat is no stranger to such heady heights and with the birds in such super form must be confident of some big results as we get to the distance races which Pat normally excels in.
We will start this week then with the Maiden City club where a fantastic fly from Pat McLaughlin sees Pat in first place and taking top spot in the NIPA Section H as well. Getting ever closer and just in time for the national races is Kieran Quigley who takes a good second position. Third and fourth this time are last week’s winners McGettigan Bros, with Pat back in the frame for fifth.
