Gary Gibson 1st Combine & 1st Section Skibbereen National –
The first classic race of the season was the Skibbereen OB Inland National flown on Friday 19th May.

Cullybackey fancier Gary Gibson took the top position in the Mid Antrim Combine timing at 15.04pm flying 258 miles. Gary’s winner is 2-year-old blue w/f Lambrechts widowhood hen finished 1st Section B and 60th Open NIPA National. The sire “Blue Steffan” is the father of Sam Murphy’s 2 x 1st Mid Antrim Combine and 2 x 1st Section B and 1st Open NIPA Bude winner 2022. He also bred Jimmy Rock’s 1st Club, 2nd Mid Antrim Combine & 4th Section B Skibbereen Yearling National pigeon. Dam of the winner is his good inbred Superke Lambrechts hen purchased from Danny Dixon when Gary started back in 2013 and she’s dam to last year’s 1st Club winner from Fermoy and Skibbereen young bird national. Mr & Mrs Robinson of Cullybackey were Combine runners up on 1354, and also took 4th spot on 1335.

The Robinson’s second bird a 4yo blue hen again on the roundabout is also a very steady racer having won good club positions over the past couple of years and she’s also down from the Van herck pigeons with the sire being a gift from Gary Gibson. Their two hens finish 3rd & 7th Section and 91st & 173rd Open.
