Good racing from Talbenny and Fermoy

LAST weekend the NIPA enjoyed good racing again from Talbenny and Fermoy, not just as many birds away as the week previous but returns appear to be on par with the week earlier from Talbenny.

We are on the run-up now to the end of old bird racing. At the weekend we have Bude and the Fermoy 5 Bird Championship followed by the two races from Penzance.

Last weekend we had sunshine and showers and the birds were released at 10.30am in Fermoy and 11.15am in Talbenny.
