Lanarkshire News - Wooler 2
This we arrived back at Wooler in Northumberland, around 74 miles back to this week’s winning loft.
The race was delayed for 24hrs due to the unpredictable weather forecast for Saturday.
We got underway with 2,800 federation birds and 10 crates from others being liberated at 09 00hrs in a light west wind.
The winners started arriving into Lanarkshire at 10 42 for a velocity of 1283 to most potent lofts in the federation this season, that of Gault & Quinn of Airdrie club.
I phoned Jimmy Quinn to congratulate him on another fantastic performance been truly outstanding. Jimmy game me the details of their winner that was bred from a Woodroffe Bros lines from George Harris of Denny x Derek Nichols " Premier lofts" Herman Custer hen.
The young cheq hen is racing her first race and was prepared on the darkness system and trained throughout the week from Carnwath (18 miles) by club member Ian Thomson.
Jimmy reported the winner and most of his birds wasted time on arrival because of the family of peregrine falcons that are patrolling the village.
As earlier stated Wullie and Jimmy have been on top of their game throughout the season with this being their 4 x 1st Open federation win and their 6 x1st sect winner. The federation wins and section wins are up with the best!
Brilliant flying lads.
Hopefully get a loft report done at end of season.
The returns were good for the first hour and then quickly dried up with some reporting losses and others that's birds had previous Wooler reporting good returns.
So what's new in pigeons east or west is always difficult especially YB racing .
