2006 - Race 6 - Melton Mowbray 2nd September

Hi,

Just to let you know basketing has been put back 24 hours for this weeks race.

My thoughts at the moment are that most of the naturals (sub team) will stay at home - finished for the season now, too far in the body moult - with only the couple which havent raced as much are going to go. The 1st teamers are looking fine, just starting to see their 1st flights on the floor, so most of these will go.

The birds have been liberated at 9:40am in a strong South Westerly. Sent 13.

Why Hasnt the bord been updated

Hi,

Since the race I've moved house, hopped borders and done an exam. With the race put back to Sunday it didnt leave me any time to update the competition (travelled up to Scotland after the race), I've just fixed the internet connection on the new house, and updating is my next job. Well after a brew maybe ;D

The last time I was in contact with back home we were still 1 short from the race, Podolski.

The birds came in the following order:

1. Rooney

2. Torres

3. Del Piero

4. Fabregas

5. Robben

The leaderboard and birds details have been updated on the competition pages.

This is the last race for the natural team (subs) birds, their too far in the moult now. All of the birds that remain in the loft have had a race; the late starters (various reasons) Totti, this was her first race - home. Fabregas this was her second - 4th home. And Ronaldinho who has had the last 2 races.

Svensson seems to have made a good recovery from the wing problem encountered a couple of weeks back, depending on how it goes he might see the race basket again this season, but if he's not right, he doesnt go.
