Heavy showers greets Tullamore race

THE opening race from Tullamore last weekend was a bit of an experience, liberation was delayed until 1.45pm due to the heavy showers.

In the south west wind the birds were still well split up and a lot reported missing as well.

A start has been made after the first training race from Mullingar had been cancelled a week earlier. Fanciers have complained about the big jump in miles for a first race and this is something they need to address for the future.
