Mullingar - 04/08/12

Post by willie reynolds »

East Down Combine race marked as usual on Friday and despite poor enough conditions on Saturday managed a late liberation in Mullingar at 14.10hrs, the race turned out good enough. It was dominated by lofts in the East Sect and especially the high flying Gordon Bros & Sons who had without doubt the Card of the Day. Between two clubs and just a couple of yards separating the early arrivals they had all the Top 16 places. A fantastic result by one of the leading lofts in the East Down Combine racing in both Cloughey and Killyleagh Central. Former Kings Cup winner Jackie Crossan from Downpatrick was well placed with five early birds. Roy Irwin from Dundonald had 1st West Sect followed by C & D Smyth & Sons the winners in Ballylesson and Mark Foulis the winner the previous two races.
