Otterburn 4 - July 2014
This week takes us back for what is called a comeback race on 28th July. This gives some the chance to train for the channel races, some the chance to give a pigeon that might have been injured or stopped earlier a race, or it is just another race to comepete in at club level. The race was scheduled for Appleby around the 100 miles mark but ended up at Otterburn 80 miles due to closure of the race point site. The 1700 birds were held to 11am before release due to weather issues. With the wind on their face a steadier race was on the cards. Returns were reported as excellent, this being the case with the racing on the east side of the Pennine hills, often called the backbone of England.
This week’s winner comes from the Uddingston & Dist club, Billy Graham, a noted distance fancier of distinction. This blue yearling cock must have hit form a week early. Well done Billy on your win.
