Jimmy Rock best from Talbenny -
Last weekend the NIPA birds were in Talbenny South Wales, liberation was due on Saturday but was delayed due to poor weather conditions over the route and at the home end. 11,400 birds were released on Sunday at 9.00am in a Lt Easterly wind and winners made light work of the 220 mile flight. Best bird locally was timed by Jimmy Rock at 13.13hrs recording velocity 1527 winning 1st Sect B & 3rd Open NIPA and best in the MAC. Last season Jimmy topped the NIPA from Penzance and a couple of years earlier 1st Open NIPA in the Talbenny YB Nat, super racer is Jimmy. This Cheq hen was a good 1st Club in last season’s YB Nat Rosscarbery finishing 25th Sect B & 218th NIPA on velocity 1127 at 254 miles and yesterday runner-up Allen McBride timed the nest-mate at 13.15hrs to finish 4th Sect B & 15th Open NIPA. Sire is a son of 11th Open YB Nat Sennen Cove paired to the good Jacob Masshoven hen from Gerald Delaney a line that has bred numerous winners.
