Homer's Odyssey/BHW Plus - 06/08/10
Posted: Fri Aug 06, 2010 9:48 am
Three young bird races flown and all three having an afternoon liberation, at the weekend the NIPA birds had moved on to Roscrea in Co Tipperary. Poor weather conditions again delayed the release until 2.30pm in a helping South West wind, it will be a July we will long remember. The birds had to put up with heavy showers en-routs and it made the race a bit erratic, overall returns were a bit slow but most turned up on the day. The weather has been terrible but thankfully last weekend most birds have made home lofts. Surgenor Bros from Kells had the best local bird for the second time in the young birds and top Mid Antrim Combine where over 3,100 birds were competing. Next best Keith Kernohan was winning Harryville HPS for the second week with one of his Van Reet family followed by Alan Darragh who had 1st & 2nd in Cullybackey.

Poor weather conditions again delayed the release in Roscrea until 2.30pm in a helping South West wind, it will be a July we will long remember. The birds had to put up with heavy showers en-routs and it made the race a bit erratic, overall returns were a bit slow but most turned up on the day. The weather has been terrible but thankfully last weekend most birds have made home lofts. Muckamore HPS have the best local bird in the Antrim area for the second week, from Tullamore Maurice McClenaghan had the top bird and was placed again this week. Jimmy Courtney who races in the East Antrim Sect C had the Card of the Day, the top six positions and the winning Blue hen timed at 17.03hrs recording velocity 1552 for the 135 miles. Jim Sinton was best bird in the Sect B recording velocity 1499, best reported and expected to top Sect B is Michael McGrandless of Crumlin & Dist doing 1521, followed by the previous weeks winners Fleming Bros. Well done to Michael breaking Novice Status, timing his winner at 17.04hrs flying 133 miles.
