Tullamore (1) - 16/04/16

Post by willie reynolds »

This week’s result from Tullamore was a great result for J Eagleson & Sons. They timed a Chequered white flight hen at 12.20pm, recording velocity 1308 for the 126 miles. This hen is raced using the roundabout system. The sire of this hen is Luck Van Macklen and dam Van De Weyre both breed by Paddy McManus of Ahoghill. We had 14 members sending 319 birds. You can also follow us on facebook - search Ballymena HPS. Young McManus & Sons were next best having the top four in Ahoghill with J & M Milliken winning Rasharkin for the second week and another very good card. The NIPA birds were released at 9.30am in a North West wind.
