Week ending April 29 Jessica tops club’s race prize list Twelve-year-old Jessica
Newbold made experienced pigeon fanciers - including her mum and dad - sit up
and take notice on Saturday. She timed in a blue yearling cock bird to top
the prize list for Candlesby Flying Club when 11 members sent 144 birds to
the race from Northallerton. The winning
pigeon, gifted to her by top Lincoln fancier Darren Barton, is a class act.
While this is the first old bird race win for Jessica, she had several good
young bird results last season including the Gold Ring race in Candlesby FC,
first in the Boston breeder-buyer race and winning the much-coveted Bob
Holmes Trophy. Her total winnings last season topped the £500 mark. Her
pigeon’s winning velocity of 1538 yards per minute looks like giving Jessica
a prominent position in Peterborough and District Federation. Results from the
Northallerton race were: Candlesby (11 fanciers
sent 144 birds): Jessica Newbold 1538, D Page 1533 and 1500, K Scholz 1499,
