The NIPA enjoyed an excellent race at the weekend from Roscrea, just over 21,000 birds were released at 11.00am in a Lt Northerly wind. Bingham & Seaton from Ligoniel had an outstanding result, one of the best, the top three positions in the East Antrim Section C and 1st, 2nd & 4th Open NIPA. Last season the Bingham & Seaton team won the Section Fancier of the Year award and Leo & Billy look as if they intend to hold on to it! Good returns were reported by most lofts, race next week is from Clonmel.
