What can be written about this partnership that hasn't been done. Absolute class"the best of the best".
Ever since I started in pigeons they having been winning Nationals,Amalgamations and Open Federations and nothing has changed.
This is another brilliant performance from a loft that recently relocated and last year won the best performance loft Duff award British Isles and ROI.
They do not send hundreds of pigeons,they flying in the biggest federation in Britain with results that are simple " brilliant" year in year out.
Well done lads you are making Lanarkshire proud.
