John Draper "Hatford Lofts" advertises regulary in the BHW and has Cattryse for sale. Not too sure if he races them though.

had some crackers as a youngman thirty odd years ago from a mr and mrs newman but to be honest i did not know what to do with them could get a wee turn in the club with them but in those days i needed a calender for the 5oo mile races i crossed mine with vandenbrookes spelling from wilson and mc shane from eastkilbride also cracking pigeons they also had cattrysse pigeons that flew well louella still has them im sure

rob wood dunscroft has some good ones also the nou paesons are catrysse based

We had them as well from Mr & Mrs Newman, they done us a turn in the late 70s early 80s one thing I remember is they ranged a lot when they were at that stage away for hours & hours, never had birds that ranged like that. Cheers

Ian Henderson, Gilmerton won the SNFC Rennes race 1987 with a Blue Pied hen, a few weeks later he clocked her full sister to win a prominent position from a very tough SNFC Sartilly 2 race [ won by G. MacAloney & Son ]. These hens were half Newman Cattrysse. Not sure if Ian still races these bloodlines ?

In the early Eighties there was a top loft that raced in Dunbar called Woolf and Thompson they had a great run at the channel races with a team of cattryse pigeons at that time ,there best doo was a cracking blue hen called Deerpark Lady she won Sartilly with the SNFC in 1981 i reckon they had one of the best teams of cattryse pigeons in Britain at the time .was only a kid myself then so i might be a wee bit out with the year they won the National

i think there team of cattryse originated from Les Davenport but i might be wrong

Davenport certainly had Cattrysse pigeons, his "Game Lady 1" & "Game Lady 2" both won 1st open NFC Pau were Cattrysse bloodlines.
