What a super day for a race! With both transporters filled to capacity with racers and trainers we set off to our first training stop in Castlebellingham.

We arrived at Navan at 12.15. The birds were liberated at 12.30 in beautiful sunshine, within seconds they were gone. The in-form loft of Tommy McKinistry, Scarva, clocked two good birds to win 1st and 2nd and collect £80.

Next place went to another in-form loft, that of Sid Grainger & Son from the Maze. Sid wins £20.

Many thanks to all who supported our race and the massive number of trainers.
