On Saturday, the Burton & South Derbyshire Federation were at Blandford in Dorset, with birds liberated at 10.55am in a south-west wind.

- PAUL and Lynda Todd's pigeons were again in fine form in the weekend's racing, writes Alan Houldsworth.

The Todds' three-year-old cheq hen, doing 1818 yards per minute, took the red card out of 173 birds sent by 15 Osmaston Park Homing Society members.

Second was the previous week's winner, Dave Waddington, with a two-year-old cheq cock (1810), and third Mick Stone with a three-year-old blue cock (1808).

Fourth with a fouryear-old ch/wf hen (1798) were S & HW Hall.
