BURTON & SOUTH DERBYSHIRE FEDERATION - 10-07-24

BURTON & SOUTH DERBYSHIRE FEDERATION.

Great day for Dave Waddington out of Yeovil (4).

Saturday July 6^th saw 59 members send 892 birds to Yeovil (4), as expected Alys had to play the waiting the game as there was cloud and rain especially around the South Midlands all morning and in the early afternoon. Alys eventually got a clear line of flight and cut the strings at 2-50 and the birds were away into a fresh West wind. It turned out to be a very good race with great returns.

Congratulations to Dave Waddington of the Osmaston Park club in Derby; he rolled back the years taking 1^st; 2^nd; 4^th ; and 5^th fed on 1631; 1628; 1622; 1621;  the fed topper a yearling blue cock is bred out of birds off Alan Brassington of Stretton; this blue cock has now won 2 x 1^st club this season.

Another yearling cheq cock was 4^th fed; and a 2yo Cheq cock was 5^th fed; all these three out of Alan Brassington x “The Bat” lines.

Well done Waddo; a brilliant performance; you’ve still got it at 78 years of age!!!

Mick Fearn was 4^th club on 1601 with a 3yo Lambrecht hen.

Up at Holbrook, 5 sent 118 and Russ Bailey filled the top 4 spots, these four yearling hens all appear in the fed report above.

At Swadlincote Town, 14 sent 236 and Mr & Mrs Lee Clamp & Sons made it back to back wins; taking top spot on 1626 with a 2yo blue hen that was bred by Ann Smith of Ashbourne. 

Debbie Fearn was 2^nd & 4^th on 1613.8; 1613.2; the first a yearling blue cock; his sire, a winner of 3 x 1^st is line bred to “Hideaway” x Honeysuckle Jansenne. He has bred pigeons to win 2 x1st and 1 x 2^nd in the last 3 races; the two winners being at Winshill out of Hullavington and Frome; in fact it was the blue cocks nest brother that won out of Frome at Winshill. The dam is Debbie’s good Stefaan Lambrecht hen.

He was closely followed by a 2yo blue cock; his sire is Davis; Wright & Sons “King of the Rode” a Van den Bulck x  daughter of Gino Cliques “Golden Prince”; his dam once again is Debbie’s good Stefaan Lambrecht hen. Splitting Debbie’s two arrivals was Davis; Wright & Sons good 3yo cheq cock “Nibble” who takes 3^rd club on 1613.6; this cock is a multi prize winner including 1^st fed out of Weymouth. His sire is off “Nugget” who’s a son of the Gordon Bros “147”; when paired to a daughter of their own “31616”; she won 1^st fed Portland and 3^rd fed Kingsdown. His dam is an Andre Roodhooft; again from the Gordon Bros, she’s a winner of 2^nd fed out of Frome.

Some late news, 5 sent 52 birds to Nort Sur Edre with the MNFC/NMCC on June 29^th and congratulations to Mr & Mrs Graham Evans on taking top spot with their good 2yo blue pied hen “24” on 1210. She has won 4^th Carentan; 1^st Fougeres and now 1^st Nort Sur Edre this season, a great set of results from over the channel; she also won 3^rd club out of Weymouth this season; and topped our fed as a yb.

This Wildemeersch hen sire was bred by Dixon & Sons of Wearside and he topped our fed as a young bird; her dam is a grand daughter of “Firecracker”. Well done Graham. 

Runner up in a difficult race was Mr & Mrs Trevor Collins & Son on 1163 with a 2yo blue cock.

Davis, Wright & Sons were 3^rd & 4^th on 1120; 1108; with a 3yo grizzle Wijnant cock; he’s a direct son of “Champ” and “Golden Eggs”; and a yearling blue wf hen; her sire another Wijnant off “Champ” and “Golden Eggs” ; her dam a Gaby Vandenabeele; a niece of “31616”.                                                                                                        

At Winshill, 6 sent 54 and Jim Parker & Son took the top three on 1618.6 (2); and 1603 with his Heremans. The first two appear in the fed top ten; they were followed by his top 5yo blue wf Hereman cock “23”, a winner of 13 x 1^st and 2 x 1^st fed.

Debbie Fearn was 4^th on 1577 with a yearling cheq Van den Bulck cock from Central Lofts in Essex.

Just need to correct the details on Debbie Fearn’s winners out of Hullavington and Frome the 2 previous weeks. The Hullavington winner is out of the line bred “Hideaway” x Honeysuckle Jansenne cock when paired to a Tony & Lee Painter x Sweetie hen; and the Frome winner is out of the same cock that bred the Hullavington winner when paired to Debbie’s top Stefaan Lambrecht hen; sorry about that.

Over at Hill Ridware, 4 sent 84 and a very good performance in the fresh west wind by their birds; the top 15 in the result all doing over 1600ypm. Mark Nesbitt took the top four on 1614; 1612.6; 1612.3 (2); the winner the 2yo blue Leo Hereman cock who won the fed breeder buyer as a yb; his sire a son of “Isla” his dam off Bill North.  

Runner up was his good yearling hen “05”; she topped our fed as a yb and again out of Yeovil earlier this season. She is a full sister to Mark’s MNFC Gold ring winner; her sire is a son of “Snowball” that top Lambrecht; her dam is Mark’s top Leo Hereman hen; a winner of 4 x 1^st fed and she was bird of the year in our fed 3 years on the trot; these two are proving to be a golden pair at stock.

3^rd club was a yearling cheq hen; she topped the fed the week previous out of Frome; she’s a sister to “04” who has a 1^st and 2^nd fed this season; her sire is a son of Adam Wealthall’s prolific Lambrecht “Snowball”.

4^th club was another yearling cheq hen “D57”; she has also topped the fed this year; she’s a full sister to “05” and “D51”; 3 good yearling hens.
