BURTON & SOUTH DERBYSHIRE FEDERATION

ALAN BRASSINGTON 1-2-3 OUT OF YB OPENER FROM CHELTENHAM
SATURDAY JULY 24TH SAW THE OPENING YB RACE OF THE SEASON FROM CHELTENHAM. AFTER A MISTY START ROUND THE RACEPOINT, THE LIBERATION WAS DELAYED UNTIL 10-00, THE BIRDS WERE THEN RELEASED INTO VIRTUALLY NO WIND. TO BE HONEST THE YB’s COULDN’T HAVE HAD A BETTER START WEATHERWISE? WITH NO WIND TO MOVE THEM, IT LOOKS LIKE A LOT OF THE BIRDS CAME UP THE A38 SIDE OF THE FED, RATHER THAN THE M42 SIDE. 70 MEMBERS SENT 1311 BIRDS, AND CONGRATULATIONS TO ALAN BRASSINGTON OF STRETTON WHO TOOK THE FIRST THREE IN THE FED, ON 1514; 1510; 1507; ALAN ACTUALLY HAD 4 DROP OUT OF A KIT OF ABOUT 20 (THAT’S A RARITY, SEEING KITS IN BURTON), BUT ONE YB FLEW BACK OUT THE LOFT ON TO THE FRONT, SO ALAN DIDN’T BOTHER WITH HIM, ALAN HAD ANOTHER 6 SHORTLY AFTER COME FROM THE NORTH, SO THEY MAY HAVE BEEN IN THE SAME KIT? ALANS’ WINNER WAS A RED CHEQ SYNDICATE LOFTS X MARCELIS COCK, FOLLOWED BY TWO SOONTJEN X M/M KEN LYCETT HENS. 4TH & 5TH FED ON 1500; 1499; WAS JOHN GILBERT OF BIRCH COPPICE, BOTH WILDIE X LAMBRECHT. GERALD WOOD OF APPLEBY MAGNA WAS 6TH FED ON 1472 WITH A VANDENABEELE COCK. SPINK & BARKS OF HILL RIDWARE WERE 7TH & 9TH ON 1470; 1465.1; BOTH JANSENNES OFF BRIAN MURRAY STOCK. CLIVE YATES OF THE BELGRAVE CLUB IN TAMWORTH WAS 8TH FED ON 1465.3. BARRY ODOM HAD FOUR TOGETHER, 2 EACH FOR STRETTON AND TUTBURY; THESE TOOK THE NEXT FOUR SPOTS IN THE FED ON 1459; 1458; 1455; 1453. THE FIRST OFF JOHN GENDERS STOCK, THEN A GIFT OFF TONY & DIANE GREEN, THEN TWO OFF STEVE & MATT BURKES “SUPER BLUE” LINES. THE FIRST TWO WERE TUTBURY BIRDS TIMED ON THE ETS.
