Eddie McKnight wins 2nd Club Blackwatertown, 35th Section E & 148th Open with bird 23564 vel 1548.

East Down Combine held its race on Sunday 18th & as you can see the velocities are much faster, hence our decision for a second Hot Spot Race. Taking pride of place is Charlie McVeigh who races in a very strong Annalong Club but has claimed top hot spot in the Combine with his Harmony Lofts Gaby Vandenabelle winning £50 with bird 23648 vel 1821 for 6th Club. Tommy Horner, Crossgar has got his birds into gear winning 2nd & 3rd Hot Spot to collect a total of £50 with birds 23282 vel 1783 & 23595 vel 1779.
