Reggie and David Moore , Bangor,N.I….East Down Combine Old Bird Inland Champions 2015…

I had a very welcome email from David Moore of the R.Moore and Son partnership 
of Bangor, Northern Ireland, detailing their great Old Bird Season 2015.  I 
have no doubt this success will continue and even improve over the coming seasons....
Very Well Done Indeed!


Hi Peter,

direct from Syndicate Lofts and also from A. Devlin (Syndicate Loft bloodines). 
We have had a fantastic old bird inland season this year, winning all inland races 
at club level and winning 9x1st, 8x2nd, 7x3rd, 7x4th, 6x5th, 8x6th, 3x7th, 5x8th,

These are only some of the results of pigeons from the Caliph Cock and the Matador Hen, 
they have both bred a lot more prize winners, in fact the Caliph Cock was paired to 
3 hens in 2014 (first year breeding following his purchase in Dublin) and he bred 
prize winners with all these hens both as young birds and as yearlings.
A young cock of the Matador Hen won Mullingar (104miles) in 2014, this was the first 
race that year and again the Cock was only a yearling, a nest sister of this Cock 
also bred 2 x 1st prize winners in the 2014 young bird season.

Matador the one and only son of two great breeders paired together…Drum and Agent Starling…

As you can see the Syndicate based pigeons both direct and via A. Devlin won 4 out of 
the 9 club races within the East Down Combine. We have no doubt that these pigeons 
have had a big influence on our season. We would like to take this opportunity to thank 
both yourself and Alan Devlin for these top class pigeons.

Yours in Sport
