williams and owens
1st open welsh national fc ramsgate yb
young bird average winners 2015
fri 18th sept and after a weeks delay due to poor weather conditions we were finally preparing for the final race of the 2015 season within the welsh national flying club programme
with everything once again going as clock work the birds arrived safely on site within the early hours of saturday morning and were allowed to settle in anticipation of a possible early liberation
saturday morning and as dawn broke it was clear to see that low lying mist and fog was present both on site and through out most of the 200 mile journey to the welsh boundaries ,these weather conditions continued to hold until 10am when things were clearly improving throughout the line of flight and with the bristol channel still showing signs of mist the was due to clear as the morning went on ,after final consultations at various locations enroute , at 10.15 the strings were cut and the pigeons were homeward bound for the final time in 2015 into a light and variable wind ,at the home end the weather had improved giving clear blue skies , as we sat and await the arrivals anticipated around the four hour mark
we head north to the pegam area for the honour of 1st open ramsgate winning the mr & mrs tremeer winners trophy, is the newly formed partnership of brian williams and howard owens from pengam timing n at 14.35.30 with a vel of 1371.28. the winning pigeon a blue cock is bred down through pigeons obtained from two highly successful welsh winning lofts of mr and mrs ian bromley and scammel and peploe both of pontypool and comes down through the nearly cock lines responsible for many winners at club and national levels ,the partnership have capped off a highly successful young bird season in their first year together after previously winning 3rd with a full brother to the ramsgate winner and 4th open national maidstone 3rd and 4th open battle and now 1st open ramsgate and no doubt the welsh national f.c 2015 young bird average winners ... so well done to you both
for 2nd AND 3RD open we remain in the rhymney valley at last weeks winning loft of iddy davies from bargoed timing in 14.36.35.with a vel of 1370.41 with a young pencil blue pied cock originating from the well known pigeons of jack corns of galaxy lofts koopmans lines crossed with the "outlaw"and hollywood classic lines of syndicate loft and jack walker via john sparry of newport ,this young cock over the past weeks has previously won club positions including 1st club guildford ,iddys second arrival ,a blue cock timed in at 14 36 42 v 1370.24 is bred down through the riet vink x vanloon x vandenabelle lines from galaxy lofts with iddys own lefrebre dheanaen pigeons and is a grandson of iddys previous maidstone national winner
for 4th open we head to the loft and partnership of davies and coombes timing in at 14.35.50 v 1369.54 ,unfortunatley i was unable to contact the partnership regarding information on their arrival but would gather it comes down through their highly successful team of leon boers or frans zwols pigeons ,which have kept them at the top for many years
theres been a lot of interest over the past week also for the result of the young bird average trophy winner as a few top lofts seemed to be battling in it out for this honour but after three races the honour goes to this weeks winning loft of williams and owens as follows
1st WILLIAMS & OWENS 1468.725
2ND D THOMAS 1463.814
3RD DAVIES & COOMBES 1462.751
