Our final midweek race for 2016 from NAVAN.
With decent weather and a good number of birds on board we were set for an excellent race. There was a stiff westerly wind and the birds made good time on their journey home.
The loft of McCormick & Muckle from Millisle took the top two positions - well done Rodney who collects a total of £80.
Jonny Porter of West Belfast timed two game wee birds for 3rd & 4th winning £20. Good birds in that west wind Jonny!
A loft that is having a good year is that of Jackson & English. Davy & Jim took 5th & 6th positions. Again, well done boys.
A very big thank-you goes to our sponsor Frazer Animal Feeds - with their generosity we were able to have 10 prizes.
We ran a fun competition today to "guess the minute" for the winning bird. As we had two closest to the minute on either side, they will win a pair of Harmony young birds each for 2017. The winners were Billy McCorry and McCormick & Muckle.
Many thanks for the fantastic support we have had for our Midweek Racing this year and we hope to see you all back again in 2017.
