Well done Andy shame about the mealy you should of got it transferred, they did well as you say for there first one

It does make you wonder though Buster.
It was a sprint race at 34 miles, a minute or two makes a big difference in the velocity. But what does it say for all these pigeons with super pedigrees, well trained and raced when a stray that hasn’t been in a basket for over a year can beat most of them???? With the velocity he would have had he would have been well up in the combine too.

Well of course the Welsh stray could have a pedigree full of champions too !!!
To me it shows too things, firstly as you say Andy, there are plenty of useless pigeons out there with first class pedigrees !! But more importantly even the best pigeons can make a mistake so not every stray is useless !!

We have our first youngbird race from Bovingdon 60mls 695yds.
We are at the same point the week after so I'll leave it to you to decide if when you want to start the Young bird comp mate.

OK George

You've got options for this weekend. You can choose any/all of the following

1. It's Phil's last OB race of the year. He's sending to Vire with the NMCC. These birds will be libbed with the MNFC. He flies 280-1262

2. I'm logged into Gordon Bros ETS system and they start their YB campaign this weekend. At present the intention is to send both with the NIPA and the East Down Combine (separate liberations obviously). Both organisations are Navan. 68-258

Feel free to choose whichever you like, I appreciate it's a lot to handle
