LANARKSHIRE FEDERATION
Tom Corrie jnr
This weeks young bird race takes us to Alnwick a market town in north Northumberland, England, of which it is the traditional county town. The town is on the south bank of the River Aln, 32 miles south of Berwick-upon-Tweed and the Scottish border, 5 miles inland from the North Sea at Alnmouth and 34 miles north of Newcastle upon Tyne.The convoy of just under 5,000 and 18 fauldhouse club baskets were away at 10 15 in a light north west wind for the 97 miles flight back into central Scotland.Again it turned out to be a good race with most happy with their returns.This weeks winner is the best racing loft ever to fly in Lanarkshire,that is GWP Macaloney of Airdrie who recorded a breathtaking thirteen of the top fifteen in the Open.1st,2nd,3rd,4th 5th,8th,9th,10th, 11th, 12th, 13th,14th,15th Open.Their remarkable history in racing pigeons continues to improve and leaves the competition shaking their heads about their performances.There is no doubt that this is a world class partnership!No one can match their level of consistency and breathtaking performances.They are the federations all time Champions and continue to dominate the leader boards.This weeks federation winner is 100% Stefan Lambrechts blue cock .This cock was last weeks centre section winner.These birds have burst onto the scene within the already brilliant team of Macaloney.They have been scoring at the very top level.,Paul Macaloney has commented they are very happy with their results, but its early days to compare them to their other strains.
Well done to the Macaloneys.
