Ahoghill complete weekend double -
Fermoy was flown same weekend as Penzance, a good opportunity to train up the birds for the France races over the next three weeks. Liberation was at 8.30am in a Lt NW wind, winners made good time but most lofts had birds missing at clock checking. Hard to work out why this was the case, it was pretty humid and the wind was not strong. Alan Darragh had the best bird in the Mid Antrim area doing velocity 1534 to finish 2nd Sect B, the Sect B winners McConville Bros from Crumlin topped the NIPA 5,500 birds recording velocity 1582 timed just after 12 Noon. Mr & Mrs Robinson going well recently in Ahoghill top the MAC on 1532 followed by the record breaker from Rasharkin & District J & M Milliken.
