I recieved a very welcome phone call from Fred Hall of F.Hall and Daughters of Worthing reporting the recent success of his top racing cock GB18N81469.
This cock won 4th Section 8th Open in last weeks BICC race from St Vincent a distance of 498 miles he was also their first timer from BICC Pau this year taking 28th Open and has been a very consistent pigeon previously winning 6th Section 20th Open BBC St Philbert, 11th Section 47th Open BBC Tarbes, 23rd Open BBC St Philbert, 181st Open BICC St Philbert, 3rd Section 32nd Open NFC ST Philbert, 11th Section 195th open NFC Tarbes.
This cock GB18N81469 is a five year old widowhood cock is bred from a Carteus cock x Syndicate lofts chq pied hen bred from their ‘GOOD PAIR’.
In 2003 Fred and his pal Steve Radcliffe bought a pair of pigeons from us that would become known simply as ‘THE GOOD PAIR’…and that is an understatement as they are responsible for countless winners over fifteen years and at all levels including 1st Open NFC Guernsey National 2021 when 6956 birds were entered by 662 members to add to their already illustrious National and Classic wins.
‘THE GOOD PAIR’ cock was bred from ‘HANNIBAL’ our well known breeding son of Dirk van Dyck’s Kannibaal when he was coupled with ‘MARITA’ bred by Flor Vervoort and a sister to Den Aske the Olypiade Asduif and grandchild of the world renowned ‘Fieneke 5000’. ‘THE GOOD PAIR’ hen was bred from ‘FIGO’ a top class Hofkens cock bred by Verheyen and daughter of Merksplas coupled with ‘GOLDEN NUGGET’ a daughter of ‘Ikon’ bred by Mike Ganus.
Many congratulations once again to Fred and Daughters…
