Midweek Race Results 7/8/13

Thank you to all fanciers who supported our venture.  A total of 1500 trainers & racers were liberated at 12.15 at Navan with a light north wind.

An excellent result for the loft of Jonny Porter & Son better known as the Whiterock Rockets, timing 2 birds to take 1st & 2nd with a velocity of 1266 & 1266 & winning a total of £80. Jonny was very keen to point out that the birds were nest mates which had been bred for him by his good friends G & P Brown of Annsborough from their excellent family of Dirk Van-Dyck/ Marijke-Vink pigeons.

In 3rd position was the Lisburn loft of L Magee & Son with a velocity of 1256 to collect £20. Alan was delighted with the result as he took 4th on 1252 & 5th on 1251. Well done to all who took part.
