Mark Foulis tops East Down Comb for second week –

Fresh from his success last week with 1st & 2nd Open Mark Foulis from Dundonald takes 1st Open for the second week on the trot from Navan, he was clear with velocity 1617 and almost 5,500 birds were competing. It was a close run thing for the runner up place with Roy Irwin of Dundonald just ahead of the Harper & Young team from Cloughey who won the East Sect. We had another big result for Gordon Bros & Sons, filling over half the Top 40 positions, their best bird finishing 6th Open.
