SATURDAY JUNE 20TH 2009 SAW OUR BIRDS AT BLANDFORD, A REPLACEMENT RACEPOINT FOR SALISBURY.

IDEAL CONDITIONS FOR THE BIRDS, WITH GOOD WEATHER AND A GENTLE NORTH WEST WIND SAW ANOTHER CRACKING RACE.

1816 BIRDS WERE LIBERATED AT 09-35 IN A LIGHT NORTH WEST WIND.

THE LEADING BIRDS MADE CLOSE ON TO THE 50MPH MARK, WITH MANY LOFTS HAVING 100% RETURNS IN NO TIME AT ALL.TOPPING THE FED ON 1450 WERE PETE WIGHTMAN & SON OF STRETTON, THIS PROVED A GOOD WINNER, AS THEY AREN’T IN THE BEST SPOT IN A WESTERLY AIRFLOW.
