A&T AGNEW TOP THE NIPA OPEN FROM NEW LIB SITE BENAMORE
This week proved difficult for fanciers and race controllers with what is the end of the Irish Summer.
The Race Controllers had no choice but to cancel all racing scheduled for the last weekend of August
due to terrible weather conditions. Therefore, the Dale Race was pushed back till further notice with
an Inland Race looking favourable for Tuesday in the meantime. This also seen the new liberation
site of Benamore in County Tipperary just outside of Roscrea. A Total of 240 members of the N.I.P.A.
sent a total of 6,342 Birds. On Tuesday morning the 2 nd of September the N.I.P.A. Liberated in
Benamore at 10:00AM in a Light South West wind.

JOURNEY’S END - N.I.P.A NOTES – SECTIONS C, D, F, & G

The Winning Bird from the seventh Youngbird Race of the N.I.P.A. Season belongs to A&T Agnew of
Ballyclare & District H.P.S. in Section C.
Trevor’s 1 st Open Benamore Winner GB25 B 23306 is a Blue Hen bred from two 2024 Birds from their
old racing team. Both the Parents have unfortunately since been lost in the old bird racing from
Kilbeggan & Roscrea. However, the Cocks parents are out of a Delaney & Abernethy breeding, and
the Hen was from Trevor’s Late Fathers breeding. Also, the now Open Winner won last weeks Race
in Ballyclare & District from Corrin.
Many Congratulations to A&T Agnew on claiming 1 st N.I.P.A. Open Benamore from 6,342 Birds.
