The young birds were back in Roscrea in County Tipperary for their fourth race of the season on Saturday 17th August. The birds were liberated at 10.30am in south westerly winds and like the previous three races a fast race followed. Best in the Mid Antrim Combine this week is Gary Gibson of Cullybackey who took the top seven positions in both the Mid Antrim Combine and Section B 83/2527. Gary got seven birds with a light and timed at 12.47pm flying 145 miles. First bird to time was one of Gary's Doncker family.

Around the other clubs and Trevor Whyte was the winner in Ahoghill on 1844 with a blue cock bred by Kevin Rooney. Stewart Brothers were the Randalstown winners on 1815 with a Lambrecht cock flying natural and Jonathan Barkley and Laura Surgenor had the top two in Kells with the winner doing 1790. Breeding is Van Den Bulck from the late Lexie Mullan x Lambrecht. Jackie Steele was best in Rasharkin on 1784 with a gift bird from good friend Danny Dixon. Keith Kernohan & Sons had their first win of the season in Ballymena & District on 1778. Their winner a Vermeerbergen/Wilms was timed by good friend Trevor Johnston and Marc Neilly was the Broughshane winner on 1751 with a cheq hen bred from a Van Mechelen cock from Paddy & William McManus when paired to a hen bought in a kit of young birds from Geoff Dickey in 2021.
