Emerald Classic OLR based in Ballyclare
LOFT MANAGERS REPORT - 1st September 2010
"Irelands Premier International One Loft Race"
Hotspot 5 Friday 27th August: 462 birds were race marked on Thursday afternoon under the supervision of representatives from Larne, Ballyclare, and Coleraine Clubs for the fifth hotspot in this year's series of races in the Emerald Classic "regarded by many now as the Premier One loft Race in the UK and Ireland."
As soon as race marking was complete the drinker were filled up and the transporter was locked away for the night, at 4:30 am on Friday morning the transporter departed for Cashel in County Tipperary arriving safely on site just before 9:00am where it was met by Ger Roche from Roscrea, and John McGrath from Cashel they were also joined by Maurice O'Donnell, Richard Nagle, Jimmy Maher from Dungarvan, who had been in Kilkenny delivering their birds for the Talbenny National. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them all for very kindly supervised this morning's liberation and to Maurice for supplying the web video footage which showed the birds clearing without circling.
Weather conditions were perfect with clear blue skies bright sunshine, good visibility and a brisk N/NW wind which we knew would make the birds work this morning. This was just the workout they need to help prepare them for the 410km grand final in two weeks time. As soon as the conditions en route was checked the birds were released at 10.30am.
Those who had gathered at the loft to await the arrival of the birds this morning were all in agreement that the N/NW would test them this morning. Just as the four hour mark approached 4 birds were spotted racing towards the loft from the front evidence that the wind had pushed them well across the country this morning. There were no laps of honour this morning all four hitting the landing board together and trapping in quick succession. Three minutes passed before the next batch of about 30 arrived these were quickly followed by small batches which continued for the next hour or so. Whenever the result was printed off for the waiting crowd it showed that 167 birds were recorded in the first thirty minutes, 265 in an hour and this from a distance of 280km (174mls). By night fall 372 were safely back in the loft with a further 47 returning during the next day which brought some very wintry conditions.
Winners HS 5: First place this week goes to J & A Galloway with a Mike Gannus based pigeon bred by Jimmy and Alan Galloway from Crumlin in Co Antrim. In runner up spot this week we have Team Yorkish a syndicate from Newtownabbey and Yorkshire fronted by Tommy Grattan & Les Stukey, in third we have No Hopers with a bird bred by last year's winners W Gray & Son from Coldstream in Scotland, fourth goes to Hennie & Anette Kallmeyer origionally from South Africa but now living and racing in Dublin, in fifth we have Team Malta with an entry bred and entered by Mario Camilleri. In sixth and just missing out on the prizes were Ger & Brian Roche with a Pigeon bred by last week's Hotspot 4 winner Maurice O' Donnell who incidentally finished 8th this week with that same pigeon. Congratulations to all this week's winners, it was good to see entries from N Ireland, England, Scotland, S Ireland and Malta represented in the top five this week. Please remember the Emerald Classic is open to everyone not just members of the RPRA The Grand Final Race will be flown this Sunday 12th September, a limited number of tickets are available for Race Day and the Presentation Dinner to be held at Corr's Corner Hotel.

Emerald Classic OLR based in Ballyclare
LOFT MANAGERS REPORT - 1st September 2010
"Irelands Premier International One Loft Race"
Hotspot 5 Friday 27th August: 462 birds were race marked on Thursday afternoon under the supervision of representatives from Larne, Ballyclare, and Coleraine Clubs for the fifth hotspot in this year's series of races in the Emerald Classic "regarded by many now as the Premier One loft Race in the UK and Ireland."
As soon as race marking was complete the drinker were filled up and the transporter was locked away for the night, at 4:30 am on Friday morning the transporter departed for Cashel in County Tipperary arriving safely on site just before 9:00am where it was met by Ger Roche from Roscrea, and John McGrath from Cashel they were also joined by Maurice O'Donnell, Richard Nagle, Jimmy Maher from Dungarvan, who had been in Kilkenny delivering their birds for the Talbenny National. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them all for very kindly supervised this morning's liberation and to Maurice for supplying the web video footage which showed the birds clearing without circling.
Weather conditions were perfect with clear blue skies bright sunshine, good visibility and a brisk N/NW wind which we knew would make the birds work this morning. This was just the workout they need to help prepare them for the 410km grand final in two weeks time. As soon as the conditions en route was checked the birds were released at 10.30am.
Those who had gathered at the loft to await the arrival of the birds this morning were all in agreement that the N/NW would test them this morning. Just as the four hour mark approached 4 birds were spotted racing towards the loft from the front evidence that the wind had pushed them well across the country this morning. There were no laps of honour this morning all four hitting the landing board together and trapping in quick succession. Three minutes passed before the next batch of about 30 arrived these were quickly followed by small batches which continued for the next hour or so. Whenever the result was printed off for the waiting crowd it showed that 167 birds were recorded in the first thirty minutes, 265 in an hour and this from a distance of 280km (174mls). By night fall 372 were safely back in the loft with a further 47 returning during the next day which brought some very wintry conditions.
