After last weeks cancellation we were able to have a very good race today. At Navan the sky was broken cloud with sunshine and the birds were gone in seconds. As we had promised we would carry last week's £100 prize money over to this week, and those who sent birds to last week's race would be entitled to race again this week for that prize money, so that meant we had two races in one.
The top partnership of M & T Griffiths had a great result in both races, winning week 1 race and also coming 3rd. In today's race they were just beaten back into 2nd spot, they collected a total of £100 prize money. Week 1 race's 2nd place was the Ardglass loft of Paddy Byrne & Son collecting £30.
This week's race was won by John Begley & Son, collecting £50, and third place goes to the ever consistent loft of Johnny Jackson, winning £20. As you can see from the velocities it was a nice steady race with most lofts registering 100% returns. Thank you to everyone who came along with racers and trainers, and for all your support! That's all for this week, remember if you're not in you can't win!
