We’ve found it difficult for the last 18 months to find the time to race an OB season and a YB season as well as hold down our full time jobs (We also have 7 children between the two of us). Therefore at present we’re only sprinting with a team of fresh YB’s each year.   Below are our 2022 performances.

You’ll see we were 5 x 1st Section against up to 2,664 birds
