Cork Area news

With the season now underway we finally experience a bit of normality. The Cork Fed has decided this year to run a breeder/ buyer young bird race to be flown from our first federation racepoint later in the season.

Our federation programme will hopefully include Scottish racepoints up to and including Fraserburgh 450miles to Cork, this as usual will be flown in conjunction with the Munster Federation.

This season we have seen our membership increase with Mallow RPC joining the Federation so hopefully we all will have a good season ahead. 

Unfortunately our first race was flown from Cahir due to mechanical problems. The race returns were good and most fanciers enjoyed a good race. The club results submitted are as follows:

North West Rpc
1st Stuart Murphy
2nd Kenneth o Donoughe
3rd Larry Morey
4th Timmy Hennessy
5th Michael Crean


Stuart Murphy’s yearling winner Northwest Pigeon Club
