Posted: Tue May 15, 2018 6:08 pm
Rasharkin lofts dominate at Gowran Park -
Section B winners yesterday from Gowran Park with the Card of the Day and also 1st MAC for J & M Milliken The top two birds were half-brother/sister from the same sire. These are Marks Blackpool Lambrechs as there are named, both birds are on Widowhood, I am sure we can expect a lot more from these super pigeons. Nice you see three generations of pigeon fanciers doing so well in the sport. On a different note Marks Grandad John attended thè Rasharkin club on Friday evening with a finger in bandage just to find out on Saturday morning it was broken in several places. A big get well soon from all club members.
At Ballymerna Bertie Blair wins the fourth race of the season from Gowran Park and his second win of the season. His winner timed at 11.02am was a yearling Red Cheq cock racing on widowhood. Sire is Lambrecht’s from Danny Dixons lines and dam is Frans Myers from Paddy McManus. This hen has bred Bertie at least six first prize-winners. Mervyn Eagleson PO. Harryville HPS had the best bird in the town two wins on the trot for Allen McBride. His bird was time at 11.01am flying 157 miles a yearling brother to the previous week’s winner. Sire Young Spartacus Soontjen/Hartog a double 1st Sect winner from Fermoy and the dam was Jacob from Gerald Delaney. Gary Gibson timed a super early bird in Cullybackey HPS at 10.59am to win for the first time this season.
