John Lavery gave me the sad news that Old Hand Jim Sinton had passed away, the funeral will be held in Portadown. A consistent racer over many years he scored many top results, especially with his Soontjen birds from McKinstry Bros of Dromara. He had not raced for a number of years and had cut his stock down and sold most of the lofts, one of those is being used for racing in Ballymena. Condolences to the family circle.
