Dunmanway inland O/B Derby
23/5/25
A quick turn around for EAA members this week as the birds got hampered on the Wednesday night for a Friday race following a tough test from Grenagh the Saturday previous!
Dunmanway the venue, Derby day gold the prize!
Forget the jet-stream as the rocket man blows into town!! Robert Rea of Rea & Magil takes the top spot in the EAA this week, including 1st Larne & Dist, 2nd Sec C & 14th Open NIPA!
Rab’s yearling blue hen, is bred down from the Super G&M Atcheson pigeons purchased at Michael’s clearance. She is off a brother to rabs sec winner from roscrea when paired to a daughter of the super couple ! (Super couple responsible for breeding no less than 5 section winners )
She was racing on roundabout!
After chatting with Rab he was saying “it’s great to see the Atcheson pigeons still winning at the highest level, and still to this day regards Michael Atcheson as one of the best flyers the NIPA has witnessed!
Very well done to Rab from all at the EAA
As we have now passed the half way point I have enclosed a picture of the leaderboard as far as the points go to date
There’s plenty of racing left yet so keep er lit!!!!
Any objections to the secretary within 7 days
