Lanarkshire Wooler 2 race

This week sees us back at Wooler around 75 miles into lower central Scotland. The weather had been dry but with a strong cool easterly wind throughout the week. The 4,700 Lanarkshire birds and 25 other organisation crates were liberated at 10 15 in a fresh East, North East wind with plenty of sunshine on route.

The winning pigeons recorded 1772ypm.Vey fast conditions with most of the convoy looking if they overshot their destination. The returns were  again excellent which always helps the finances  going forward for the  federation.

Experience always counts in such races with the older pigeons topping most of the club results.

This weeks 1st sect 1st Open federation is Brian Ward of Blantyre club in the west section. I phoned Brian to congratulate him on his cracking performance.

Brian was surprised to see his winner on the sputnik trap as he wasn't expecting them to be so fast. He times with the T3 clock so some time was wasted getting a hold of the manual clock and timing the winner.

His winner is a 2018 Check cock who had previously scored in the Worksop race last season. Its sire won Ypres for him and was bred of Van der Wegen birds from Davie Maxwell who no longer is in the sport. He has been raced Natural and hasn't sat a nest this season being celibate. He is on the open bowl as Brian hasn't the time to train with his present shift pattern. Brian is hopeful for him to perform from the more distance race points.

Well done Brian on a super result. 

Alec Stewart wins Clarkston with a 2yr old B/C of Gerald Delaney Jan Grondelaer stock, well done Alec on a fine winner.

Andy Eadie winner was bred down from the old Vandenbelle stock hen Silver Z ,mother of the loft .Silver award for her meritorious performances in the SNFC and 7 diplomas to her credit and Grandmother to Anniversary Coral 1st Open SNFC Yeovil and probable the best hen in the UK 2021.Winner of the titan games for best middle distance pigeon UK and like her Grandmother winning £7,500
