The
small back yard stud has indeed caused
a rumble in Southern Ireland pigeon racing.
Devoid
of any ornamentation whatsoever, we are
interested in one thing only, Winners.
Nothing else matters. Any novice who is
interested in starting properly would
be well advised to contact Derwin Lofts
where they will be patiently guided to
win races almost immediately.
In
1992 one such novice was David Riordan
of finglas S.W. who had a shed installed
in May and was presented with the Novice
Trophy in October having won 2x1st and
a 1x7th club 14th open 6,500 birds Barleycove
and 20th fed. 8,430 birds Youghal. From
5 races entered. Another novice is David
Cullen of Skerries club who although not
racing Derwin birds until 1993, won with
our help, first race nowhere, second race
nowhere, third race 3rd, fourth race 8th,
fifth race 1st + 3rd, sixth race 2nd+3rd.
We
told David it would take 2 weeks for results
to come. By the way David is 12 years
old. A great future looks certain for
this lad. In Tallaght ( Dodder valley
Club), Peter Smith also flew extremely
well winning best Derwin Y.B Trophy with
1st, 2nd, 3rd club 2nd section 19th Fed
12,952 birds. Same bird won 1st, 2nd,
3rd and 4th 2 bird club. Again Peter was
only racing the birds 3 weeks before his
first win. Naturally these lads carried
out our advice to the letter. If you are
prepared to do the same you will be named
on this page next year no matter which
club you fly in. We promise!.
"Don't
put your hand out to be slapped"
is a pigeon term we dislike very much
as it applies to people with inconsistent
management. How do you expect to win races
with the attitude " I won't win this
week". Why bother racing? Why not
take the attitude of Pat Leonard, one
of our best novices who said on bank holiday
monday that "I'm going to win today"
he did. Below is the results when racing
against 300 + birds in the Northside open
race.
1st,
2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, 8th, 9th
all were approx. 3 min's ahead of the
next member. He won 2x1st in the nearly
impossible club to win in Dublin North
east. Also 2nd Fed 10,000 birds.
last
year flying in Malahide club he was challenged
by his boss to a bet of 100. His first
race and here he is with a chance of loosing
100. What would you have done? Well you
are not Derwin novice so you wouldn't
have taken the bet. We did not advise
him to take it. we ordered him to. Result
1st, 2nd and 3rd, 374 birds again 3 minutes
in front. Our birds are not bad either.
The
results are to numerous to list but thousands
of pounds have been won in just two years
with birds from the Derwin Stock.
