EAST DOWN COMBINE

Reports by Clifford Browne

 

DUNDONALD PARTNERSHIP WIN PENZANCE

June 22nd Saw the East Down Combine in Penzance for what was the final Old Bird race before the French Derby & Nationals. It was a fine morning and with a light SE wind the leading birds made good time with the top three Open birds recording over the 1500ypm mark. The convoy of just over 1200 birds were liberated at 6.30am. As with races from across the Irish Sea birds cross at different points giving variations in the time taken but out in front were former fanciers of the Year the Dundonald partnership of Cowan & McCartney on 1533ypm. Next bird was to Crossgar fancier Joe McGreevy who is usually to the fore in these races as is Newtownbreda’s Tom Marshall at 3rd open. Annsborough’s Mickey Croskery another fancier who does well from the cross-water events was 4th Open with the Millisle team of R Strain & son 5th and Donaghadee’s A & P Trimble & sons completing the top 6 in the Open.

 

At Section level the top three Open birds took the top three in the West Section and the next three in the Open took the top three in the East Section. The full result Open Section and Nominated result is as follows:
