[willie reynolds]

Fermoy in County Cork was the venue for the 6th race of the young bird season, birds were released at 9.00am in a south westerly wind. Locally the result was dominated by lofts in the Rasharkin Area and what a result it was for J & M Milliken who had The Card of The Day with their winner recording velocity 1612ypm to top MAC, 1st Sect B & 1st Open NIPA 743/21,871. The bird was a Lambrecht bred by clubmates W & J McLean. This same family has been doing the business for Steele & McNeill of Rasharkin & Dist. Next best were Stewart Bros from Randalstown (1572), both these lofts are having a very good season with the young birds.

Money for Talbenny YB National will be lifted on Wednesday 26th Aug in Cullybackey clubroom between 20.30hrs to 21.30hrs. Birds will be race marked Thursday 27th Aug from 15.30hrs to 18.00hrs, clocks ready after lorry leaves Cullybackey.
