Portavogie Loft best in the East Down Combine -

For the third old bird race the East Down Combine moved on to Mount Charles, over 6,000 birds were released at 10.30an in a WSW wind. Yet again the birds made light work of the journey to home lofts. The Open was topped by B & J Donnan of the Portavogie HPS doing velocity 2134ypm followed by two birds for Harper & Young of Cloughey. McCartan & Woodsides of Crossgar had The Card of the Day here with eight birds placed! 1st, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th & 14th – a great result for a top loft.
