A bumper 11,840 birds from the Up North Combine travelled down to Maidstone Lakes for the first National Old Birds Race of the season.
The winner was a pigeon from the Robson Bros., Thompson and Larmouth loft in the Newsham HS, Northumberland Premier Federation, with a velocity of 1676.538.
Results from around other local lofts saw Barron and Douglas dominate the Hirst club in the Wansbeck Fed with the first ten birds back – they also took third spot in the Combine - while in the Coquetdale Fed Kevin Moore took top three at Chevington Drift HS and Trevor Shell was the club winner at Alnmouth HS.
