Mid Antrim Update – Fast Race from Dunmanway
One week to go on what has been a most difficult young bird season, well seem by the big reduction in entries. Regards of that, some local lofts are putting up big results. At the weekend Steele & McNeill top both Combine & Section in both Dunmanway events which makes it three wins in a row for the bird which topped Combine & Section in last weekend’s Roscrea. From Talbenny Geoff Surgenor had the best local bird, topping the NIPA in the YB National, while Roy Clements had the Card of the Day with the top four in Harryville, in what was another difficult race.
