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. First reports indicate that Donnelly Bros from Newry City will top the NIPA for the second race on the trot doing velocity 1607. Irish SR Fed were not so fortunate and had to contend with mist and low cloud not getting away until 1.30pm in Bude and 3.00pm in Mallow, the cross channel race especially was heavy going with birds timed until dark.

The weather continues to give problems and the INFC have twice delayed race marking for the Yearling Nat due to be flown this Wednesday 9th June. As I write no definite plan has been set for the race, the early part of the week we were to have all sorts of weather problems. The weather forecasts for Wednesday and Thursday are for storm force north to north easterly winds with possible thunder storms, and heavy rain on the Irish Sea and poor visibility in coastal areas. It’s just a case of wait and see.

Best in Coleraine and 1st Coleraine Triangle was Terence McCrudden of the County Derry doing velocity 1434 with a Van Loon. Next best were Diamond Bros 1st Coleraine Premier HPS (1404) followed by G Donaghy Son & Grandson 1st, 2nd and 3rd Windsor Social, the winner was doing velocity 1388.
