Our first Young Bird Hot Spot Race got off to an excellent start. However, with so many different liberation times & places it made for a lot of variation in Club velocities.

Our winning bird is raced by the top partnership of R & A Gore of the Hillsborough & Maze Club clocking their Gaby Ring No. 30448 for a Vel of 1563 to win 1st Club & also take a top position in Section D collecting winnings of £50. This wee bird was 6th Club Lagan Valley last week.

Second spot goes to Philip McCall racing with the Markethill Club. Philip clocked bird Ring No. 30404 Vel 1503, another Gaby, to win £30.

The ever consistent Tommy McKinstry of the Harmony Club takes 3rd place winning £20 with bird Ring No.30157 Vel 1495.

Many thanks to all who rang or texted through their velocities but just missed out on a prize...Maybe next week!
