Penzance Grand Nat won by “Kevin’s Pride”

The Blue Riband YB Grand National was due to be flown on Wednesday 4th September but the race marking was delayed due to strong to gale force north westerly winds forecast on the Irish Sea for the middle part of the week.

The situation was to change over the coming weekend with a more favourable forecast.

Race marking took place in the early afternoon of Friday and 278 members entered 1527 pigeons in the race and were competing for £14,641.00 in pools and prize money. The pigeons were released at 8.00am on Sunday 8th September. The wind at the release site was light northerly which was to turn to south south westerly on route. Winning birds were recorded in the Muckamore Station shortly after 3.00pm and we had a steady flow of birds till after 6.00pm. Rain and drizzle closed the race out early. Mr & Mrs McNeilly had the big early bird fantastic racers in Doagh & Dist and had a good card with four birds timed and just over 40 recorded in the Muckamore Station. The Ballymoney men arrived early with D & H Stuart winning 1st Club flying 346 miles just ahead of Danny Dixon who had won all club races up to this time. Danny had five birds timed including three arrivals at the one time. He will be happy enough lifting well over £1,000 with his first bird all pools and nominated. Arnold Thompson from Ballyclare is ever present and a good result as well for club-mates W R Moore & Son competing for the first time sending six birds and timing four. Robert Turkington from Doagh, always a good help had a super race with three birds in the clock. A very typical Penzance YB National, some fantastic results and many lofts with no birds home. The YB Nat Penzance is a favourite race for Kevin Henderson of Lurgan Social. He has timed many good birds over the years and as I said before none better than to win 1st Open INFC. It was bad luck indeed for Herman McAvoy who races to three different lofts and had mixed up the registration of the young bird team. Easy done and a reminder that all members should closely check their Allocation Sheets, very few do.

Clubs, Feds & Combine Results INFC Young Bird Skibbereen -

For the first time that I can remember the Inland Nat from Skibbereen was flown before Penzance, the thinking being that the earlier date coupled with a mid-week liberation would enhance the entry. Because of weather problems in the Skibbereen area race marking was delayed for one day and birds were duly marked in Lisburn on the Tuesday in the early afternoon because the Equestrian Centre was being used at night. Feelings about the date change are mixed but with young bird racing as it was during the season it was not the perfect year to make a decision one way or another.

The entry this year at 2,035 birds was something similar to the year previous when 2,022 birds were sent. Some 224 INFC members were competing for pools and prizes of £8,407. Liberation was at 11.00am on Wednesday 28th August in a Westerly wind, top winners exceeded a mile a minute. In my race report earlier I featured the top winners of each of the three Sections, ie. South, Middle and North. This round-up is to expand the coverage to include, Marking Station, Clubs, Feds and Combines. Members having success should as always forward info and relevant results.

Best bird in the Mid Antrim Combine was timed by former winner Danny Dixon of Rasharkin. He timed his red chequer hen at 15.53pm flying 266 miles to the lofts in Dunloy. She is bred from two direct Gert Heylen birds and three days earlier won 1st Club, 7th Combine and 131st Open NIPA Fermoy 12,993 birds. In the past Danny has won 3 x 1st Open Nationals having previously won this race two decades ago back in 1999 followed by a NIPA Rosscarbery YB National in 2006 and a Penzance YB National in 2010. Bertie Blair continued his excellent young bird season with the best two birds into the town and a good 2nd and 3rd Mid Antrim Combine for the 259 mile fly to the loft. First clocked at 15.49hrs was a blue w/f hen. The sire is Danny Dixon Lambrechts and the dam is Frans Myers from Paddy McManus of Ahoghill. She has now bred at least 12 x 1st including 4 x 1st Combine winners, 1st Open NIPA Mullingar 2016, and his 24th Open INFC Sennen Cove Yearling National pigeon this season. The second bird timed at 16.00hrs is a blue pied Soontjen hen and she won 1st Club and 6th MA Combine from 1st Fermoy. Sire is from Paddy McManus of Ahoghill and dam is from Davy Campbell of the Eastway HPS in Belfast. Mervyn Eagleson PO.
