RESULTS AND NEWS FROM LAST SATURDAY

In what was another historic week for the club, in what has been a ground breaking season, we had 1^st and 2cnd Open winners in the Fermoy County Cork race.  Stephen O Brien pipped Packie Coughlan by just a matter of seconds, indeed by a decimal point, in a great race and brings the club national and international recognition congratulations to both fanciers.

Their were over 20,000 birds flying from Fermoy and to win it was a great achievement for Stephan but the club in general had a great day taking the first 8 places in the Orchard Combine which includes the Armagh clubs This is the 3^rd Open winner for the club this season which has probably never been achieved before in the Clubs over 100 year history.

The winning bird was 1^st club1st section, 1^st Open and 1^st in the Orchard combine and it will be recognized in the British Homing World magazine, the bible of the sport.
