Our first young bird midweek race got off today (23/07/14) to a great start. With the weather perfect for racing and 1200 birds on board our transporter, racers and trainers, Viv and I headed off to Navan Race Course.
The convoy were liberated at 12:15 in a light north east wind, the birds were all gone in seconds. With the east in the wind the birds made for a more central route home.
Tommy McKinstry from the Tandragee Club had a super day to take the top 3 positions and collecting the total £100 prize money.
Taking 4th position is the Shankill loft of McAuley, Kells & Bowles, closely followed by Fairley Bros. All lofts reported a very good race and keen to come back next week.
Many thanks to all who came and supported our venture.
Why not come along next Tuesday evening for race marking for another midweek race from Navan?
