Lanarkshire federation Alnwick 1 on 22/08/26

 

Centre section winners Barclay McCrindle & Son

They had a brilliant race winning 1st,2nd,3rd,4th,5th,6th,7th,8th section.

10 pigeons in the top 40 of the Open federation is top flying!

 

The partnership have been a big name in Lanarkshire since recently joining the ranks.

They have specialised in young bird racing with a view to carry this into old bird performances.

Their results are outstanding and up with the best in the country with plenty of ace awards over the last few seasons.

 

Their winners are a mixture of all their winning lines through the old Custer lines with some new lines they have brought in and youngsters bred from our own racers which was particularly satisfying .

 

Although we have recorded 1st,1st,2nd section in the previous three races we haven't been completely happy with the way the birds have been coming. We felt there is more to come from them and they just needed a little more time to mature and find their feet.

Hopefully they continue to progress and gain valuable experience and we will see the best of them. All in all we are a bit happier with this performance and the direction the team is heading.

 

Again we would like to congratulate Paul and Charlene on 1st Open federation.

Also James & Gary Green partnership and HBW on their section wins.
