Last weekend the NIPA enjoyed good racing again from Talbenny and Fermoy, not just as many birds away as the week previous but returns appear to be on par with the week earlier from Talbenny, maybe slightly better. We are on the run-up now to the end of old bird racing, at the weekend we have Bude and the Fermoy 5 Bird Championship followed by the two races from Penzance, then France. Last weekend we had sunshine and showers and the birds were released at 10.30am in Fermoy and 11.15am in Talbenny.

The Mid Antrim Combine was topped by M/M Robinson from Ahoghill doing velocity 1491 followed by Stewart Bros 1st Randalstown (1472) and W & J Smyth 1st & 2nd Ballymena & Dist (1470). The Champions League is at the semi-final stage to be flown this weekend from Bude, the matches are Scott & Clements (Kells) v W & J Smyth (Ballymena) and A McBride (Harryville) v M Graham (Ballymena).
