The winning yearling red cock was timed at 1.03pm after flying the 331 miles to the loft. He was in the prizes from Talbenny a week earlier and was sitting on eggs with his hen in a small section of the loft. The cock was really keen and would beat up any other cock that came in to the section. The sire a Herman Ceuster cock from Premier Lofts was a gift from club-mate and good friend George Bell. The dam is Frans Myers from Paddy McManus of Ahoghill and has bred 9 x 1st including 3 x 1st Combine winners, 1st Open NIPA Mullingar and a Bird of the Year winner.
