Danny Coyles & Son were best in Coleraine back to back channel wins for the top channel loft in the Coleraine Premier of Danny Coyles and son Bobby. Their winning pigeon is a yearling blue cock of Wildemeersch breeding and is off lines purchased from top fancier Danny Dixon. This cock finished 3rd Section in the Talbenny young bird national for the channel specialists from Portrush. Had the privilege of handling this cock this morning in our yard and he was in super condition and a credit to the lads. Big well done on another super channel performance. By the way they had him pooled in the club and take home £42 in club pools.
