BURTON & SOUTH DERBYSHIRE FEDERATION.
Alan Stretton takes 1st and 2nd fed as South Derbyshire lofts dominate out of Yeovil(2).
Saturday June 13th saw 68 members from 8 clubs enter 1078 birds for the second visit to the Somerset town of Yeovil. The pigeons had a very blustery WNW wind to compete with, and it came as no surprise at all to see the South Derbyshire lofts dominate the result; with Swadlincote Town taking 9 of the top 10 positions. Alys cut the strings and liberated the birds at 10-15 in a strong and at times a cool WNW wind.
Congratulations to Alan Stretton of Swadlincote Town; Alan took 1st; 2nd and 6th fed on 1558; 1557; 1547; the fed topper was a yearling blue hen; this hen won out of Cheltenham as a young bird. Her sire is a Leo Hereman out of Geoff Farmers fed topping Curtis, Wall & Lunt stock. Her dam is a grizzle out of a pair from Mark Williamson; from “New Justice” and Mark Gilberts “Grizzle Wonder” Line. Runner up was the yearling mealy cock who topped the fed this season out of Marlborough; he was poised to go over the pad and the blue hen nipped in front of him. His sire is from Mark Williamson out of an Eijerkamp cock and “Justus” x “Flanders Beauty” hen, his dam off Neil Harvey from the James Parker “Greipel” line (Bulck). 6th fed was a yearling blue cock; again off Mark Williamson stock; the sire off Mark Gilbert’s “Venus Pidcock” (Stefaan Lambrecht x Bulck); which also includes a grandson of “Lincia” in his blood.
