Week ending August 19 It’s
victory number four for ‘Comeback Kid’ George Watts, who
made a return to pigeon racing only last summer, after a 10-year absence, can
now claim to be one of the big-hitters in the sport in Boston. Named as the “Comeback
Kid” it seems that he has now re-established himself as one of the leading
fanciers with his fourth win of the season in Boston Central RPC’s race from
Bishop Auckland - just half the number of wins of his main adversary, John
Hardy. George’s latest winner was a gift hen bird from Horbling ace Frank
Bristow. Results from

John Hardy registered his eighth win of the season when he topped the list in
Boston Central Racing Pigeon Club’s young bird race from Northallerton, his
entry was not the fastest into Boston. That honour fell to Dave Henry but the
bird he clocked was not entered with the club, but only in Peterborough and
District Federation. While John’s
winner returned a velocity of 1401 yards per minute, Dave's Fed-only bird was
doing 1404ypm. There is a
maximum entry of 24 birds with Boston Central in young bird races but any
above this can be entered with the Federation only. Twenty-one members sent
425 birds to the club race, and another 123 birds were entered into the
Federation only. Some consolation for Dave, who has been only a small margin
away from winning on several occasions this season, was that his second
pigeon was runner-up in the club race. Northallerton
