BURTON & SOUTH DERBYSHIRE FEDERATION.

 

MR & MRS TREVOR COLLINS & SON TAKE FIRST FOUR OUT OF YEOVIL (2).

For the second Yeovil race our yb’s were marked 24 hours later due to the poor forecast for the Saturday, 67 members sent 898 birds, they were liberated on Sunday September 9th at 10-50 into a brisk SW wind, the birds fairly romped home, with a lot going wide and long, giving them a stiff fly home against the strong wind. Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Trevor Collins & Son, they took the first four at Swadlincote Town and the first four in the fed, Trevor & Gaz timed in a blue hen on 1847 to top the fed, she is out of a cock from Frank Brownlees Border Lofts when paired to a hen off the NEHU partnership of Soderland & Maddison.
