Ballymena & District HPS 13/41 - MDC Magill 957, W & J Smyth 832, 801.
The Magill partnership win the Penzance & Penzance Classic which turned out to be
another tough fly with the wind being from the North. Their 2 year old Cheq Pied cock has been timed on many occasions on the channel including the Yearling Nat last year. This year he was timed in Talbenny before being set up for the OB Classic. His breeding is Busschaert from Chris Houston who has the best of these bloodlines while the dam is Jos Thone from A Cousins & Sons (Belfast). The partnership slipped the winner a small baby 2 days before. It certainly motivated this fine pigeon to win and will be well placed in both the Sect & Open result. Congratulations on this fine win, on a very hard day with just 3 birds in the club.
