BHW/INFC SINGLE BIRD CHALLENGE 2014
Entry List Number 1
by David Black
So it's that time again, the BHW/INFC Single Bird Challenge is back. It's still a free entry with a £2000 prize fund and a first prize of £500 so it's as if every member of the INFC can have a free £5 bet on a 100/1 winner. Altogether there is a total of fifteen prizes available at £500, £400, £300, £200, £100 and ten at £50 plus the Joe Doheny Perpetual Cup to the winner and framed diplomas for the first three. Just like every other year some great pigeons will be entered and indeed some very good birds have already been entered. Some of those which have caught the eye are Geoffrey Douglas' Triple Crown winner from last year, C&D Fox's 9th Open Portland, M&K Browne going for a Hall of Fame plus ten others that were in the prizes in last year's King's Cup. I will be updating the entries every week until the closing date of 17th March. All members have received an entry form with their statement of accounts. The completed entry form should be sent to David Black, 11 Drumiller Hill, Dromore, Co Down, BT25 1EP. If anyone has any problems or spots a mistake with their entry, call me on 02892692713.
