East Antrim Amalgamation
Roscrea 2 YB
17/8/24
The 4th YB race of the season took place from Roscrea on a slightly overcast day with west south west winds once more, returns by all accounts appear to have been good!
Winning the Amalgamation for a second time in the yb season so far is Gary McKenna of Eastway HPS!
After another chat with Gary it’s clear to see this young hen is bred in the purple.
The sire being a meritorious award winner in 2021 NIPA sec c, (Talbenny & Penzance)
A vandenabeele pigeon bred by John Abernethy.
The Dam is a stock hen which has already bred NIPA sec c yb of the year 2022
It is no surprise this winner is one of Gary’s gold ringers……and I don’t think you’ve heard the last of her yet!
A mention again to young Riley who is loving every minute of the racing and rightly so!
Well done the lads and many congratulations on another super win!
I must give a mention to Carrick social flyer Jim Armstrong on a simply outstanding card taking 10 of the possible 20 positions available super card big yin!
Any objections to the secretary within 7 days
