BURTON & SOUTH DERBYSHIRE FEDERATION - 27-06-24

BURTON & SOUTH DERBYSHIRE FEDERATION.

Mick and Neil Harvey take top 2 in fantastic race out of Hullavington.

Saturday June 22nd saw 71 members enter 1201 birds for the first visit to the Wiltshire village of Hullavington. It was a glorious day, warm, with blue skies, fluffy white clouds and a westerly wind.

This was a short and sweet comeback race for the birds and after the rigours of the previous weeks they seemed to enjoy it? Alys cut the strings at 10-20 and ETA into Burton was the hour and 45 minute mark for the trip of just over 90 miles.

Congratulations to Mick and Neil Harvey of Swadlincote Town flying to their Loft 2 at Neil’s home; they took 1st & 2nd fed on 1575; 1574; the fed topper was a 2yo cheq hen; her sire is a grandson of “Corky’s Pride” the Tom Sherwood Jansenne hen that won the MNFC Bordeaux race for Mick & Neil. He was bred out of a son of “Corky’s Pride” when paired to a full sister to James Parker’s “National Beauty” who was a winner of the NFC Fougeres in 2016. The dam of the fed topper is a Hereman Cuester from Gary Cox of Hull.
