Records Smashed at Dublin Show –
In his final Dublin Show before taking a well-deserved break Timmy Mawhinney from Donacloney in Northern Ireland smashed all the standing records, won 11 x 1sts, 2nd in three others and had 37 cards with his entry of 42 birds. Winning Best in Show for the 10th time beats the long standing record of Kevin Henderson from Lurgan. He has won Most Points on 12 occasions and the BOS winner this year has been Best in Show at Dublin twice with several other awards including Blackpool. This year the top Young Bird won Best in Show, the Blue Pied hen “Ups a Daisy” has a very big future.
The Dublin Show RPS President Eugene Fitzgerald invited Sheila Lehane the daughter of the late Seamus Lehane long standing Secretary of the Irish Homing Union who passed away earlier this year to present the awards. Results: Class 1 Old Cock Flown Channel – T & K Mawhinney, Class 2 Old Hen Flown Channel – T & K Mawhinney, Class 3 Old Cock Flown – T & K Mawhinney, Class 4 Old Hen Flown – T & K Mawhinney, Class 5 Young Cock Flown – T & K Mawhinney, Class 6 Young Hen Flown – T & K Mawhinney, Class 7 Any Age Cock/Hen Eye-sign – C Maples, Class 8 Old Cock T/W – T & K Mawhinney, Class 9 Old Hen T/W – T & K Mawhinney, Class 10 Young Hen T/W – T & K Mawhinney, Class 11 Young Cock T/W – T & K Mawhinney, Class 12 Matched Pairs – T & K Mawhinney, Class 13 Colour Class – A McKavanagh, Class 14 Show Racer Young Hen – Edgar & Wiggins, Class 15 Show Racer Young Cock – Edgar & Wiggins, Class 16 Late Bred Cock or Hen – D Coleman, Class 17 Show Racer Old Cock Un-flown – Edgar & Wiggins, Class 18 Show Racer Old Hen Un-flown – Edgar & Wiggins.
