Our first Midweek Race from Navan proved to be very successful with fantastic support from many fanciers competing from a very wide area giving us a total number of 625 birds including trainers. Birds were liberated at 1pm in beautiful sunshine with a light west wind.
Annsborough made excellent time taking the top spots. Congratulations to the very consistant racing team of G. & P. Brown on clocking the top 4 pigeons in our open result, closely followed by P. Brown & Son, Annsborough who took the next two. Prize money for Navan race was £50, £30 & £20. Geraldine was on hand to collect the £100 prize.
Our next race will be Wednesday 8/5/13 from Kildare. Birds will be race marked at Harmony Lofts on Tuesday 7/5/13 between 7 & 9. Come along, everyone welcome, the craic is mighty!
