jake12 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Posted August 18, 2014 Good luck in the race Paul, and to the rest of the guys with birds still competing :scotland:
tambla51 Posted August 18, 2014 Report Posted August 18, 2014 Well done the Macaloney family b'est of luck at the final,trying my hardest to get downto thé final.
JohnQuinn Posted August 25, 2014 Report Posted August 25, 2014 Well the race is done and dusted now with a local man winning first prize of £11,000 and another £3,000 in pools. Best Scottish bird was for wee Pat Docherty and Son who finished in 7th place. Seven pigeons dropped together with the winner going in around 20 seconds in front of the others. The only criticism of the race was some birds dropped onto wire doors instead of the traps indicating they were allowed in and out of the doors when around the loft, when imo they should only have ever been allowed to enter the loft trough the traps. Two of the first 7 trapped onto the doors and its a pity that poor schooling may have cost their owners the win. jmo. http://www.somerseto...ay225082014.htm
Delboy Posted August 25, 2014 Report Posted August 25, 2014 16 Scottish doos made it out of 120 entered which isn't the greatest really. Good luck to the winners
JohnQuinn Posted August 25, 2014 Report Posted August 25, 2014 143 returned from 385 racing yesterday Derek. There were 1,053 Yb's in the lofts at the start of the year and now just 170'ish left, disnae make for good reading. Mind you it does say on the Home Page that they will be tested to the limit and ye takes yer chance when entering. Have to say that everything else down there is first class, Terry and Jane really looked after everyone.
JohnQuinn Posted August 25, 2014 Report Posted August 25, 2014 Ps. I see one of your's came tonight at 6.17pm, great effort considering the weather was atrocious today down there/ 160mls of rain at the start of the journey home with visibility very poor as well.
