MARK NESBITT                                                          

Just a few words on the season Mark Nesbitt of Rugeley has had in 2020.  Flying as D. Nesbitt & Sons at the Hill Ridware club, in the Burton & South Derbyshire Federation, and Lea Hall club in the Worcester Federation. 

MARK NESBITT (R) RECEIVING THE MALTSTERS TROPHY IN 2019 

Mark won 30 x 1^st this year, 12 x 1^st at Lea Hall; 8 x 1^st at Hill Ridware; topped the Burton & South Derbyshire fed twice, and being runner up on 5 occasions, 1^st Worcester fed; 2 x 1^st in training races; 3 x 1^st in gold ring races and 2 x 1^st in breeder buyers.  But it was his YB’s that really hit the heights in the special races across the midlands.

In the P & D Stud Purbeck race on the bank holiday Monday when 39 sent 627, Mark took 1^st & 2^nd in the gold ring race, and 1^st in the diamond ring race. “Sammy Jo” won the gold ring race winning £1220, and “Diamond Queen” was runner up in the gold ring race and took 1^st in the diamond ring race winning £2275.

Both these are daughters of “Champion Isla” marks top Leo Hereman hen who won the RPRA UK champion award for 0-250 mile and RPRA West Midland Regional award winner, both in 2018, she won 4 x 1^st fed and has since been retired into the stock pen, what a bird, and only 4 year old.                                                                                                            

It was the Tividale gold ring race next from Carentan, 97 members sent 362 and “Harry Junior” took top spot for Mark winning £2529.62, to cap a fantastic day “Tividale Queen” a granddaughter of “Isla” won the Tividale breeder buyer race from Carentan, 181 birds entered and she won £4131.18.

The last breeder buyer mark had to race, was the Burton & South Derbyshire fed from Honiton. He had two hens lined up for the job, but kept back a daughter of “Isla” has she was beginning to moult heavy and he wanted to make sure he had her safe and sound ready for racing in 2021. So he sent just the one Leo Hereman hen, but that was enough, she was 1^st winning £832.32 plus two gold coins worth over £200.

Congratulations Mark on a fantastic set of results against strong birdages, not just sprinting, but from over the channel; and in a N.E. head wind out of Honiton for the fed breeder buyer win.
