Mid Antrim Combine - Fermoy (2) 05/06/10

Post by willie reynolds »

The Fermoy birds were released at 10.30am and the best bird locally was Allen McBride of Harryville, he timed his good 2 year old Blue w/f cock at 14.26hrs to record velocity 1495 for the 200 miles into Lettercreve. This fantastic bird was winning for the fourth time this season, its record includes 1st Club Tullamore, 2nd Combine, and 4th Sect B 168/4,163; 1st Club Clonmel, 15th Comb, and 22nd Sect B 185/4,345; 1st Club Fermoy, 1st Comb, and 1st Sect B 185/4,318. This week he has 1st Comb and possibly 1st Sect again, what a great racer, and what a season to date for Allen McBride. Steele & McNeill from Rasharkin were next best finally getting a 1st Club after getting close on several occasions. Other winners included Harry Boyd 1st Kells & Dist (1477), Alan Darragh 1st Cullybackey (1474), George Connolly 1st Broughshane & Dist (1472), James Harris 1st Ballymena & Dist (1461), and Young McManus & Sons 1st Ahoghill Flying Club (1457).
