Roy makes it 3x1st from Pilmore Beach

The birds competing in the Derek Wishart Memorial race from Pilmore Beach were also released on Sunday June 7th and the provisional top ten were: 1 R Irwin Dundonald 1454.285 2 Harper & Young Cloughey 1438.499 3 K .Rooney,Son & Dtr Annalong 1437.682 4 K .Rooney,Son & Dtr Annalong 1437.227 5 Caskey & Adair Crossgar 1436.677 6 R Hunter Ballynahinch 1436.416 7 S Milligan & Dtr Tyrella 1433.579 8 S Milligan & Dtr Tyrella 1433.37 9 Gordon Bros & Sons Cloughey 1432.736
10 Gordon Bros & Sons Cloughey 1429.529 This sees Roy Irwin from Dundonald top the open from all 3 Pilmore beach races and I understand it is the same blue cock which has been the winner of all three and I hope to have more on this outstanding performance shortly. Cloughey’s Harper & Young, who have also had a super old bird season were in 2nd place with Annalong’s Rooney family who had a great day from both races and again won Annalong from both races finishing 3rd and 4th Open from Pilmore beach with their first birds breeding being on the. Sire‘s side a Son of old Number 1 Soontjens pair. This cock had lots of prizes before being put to stock and the Dam is one of the New Sprinters bought in last year from 2nd National Ace pigeon in Belgium. 5th open are the Crossgar partnership of Caskey & Adair who enjoyed a great race and the top six is completed by Ballynahinch’s Rab Hunter.
