Always at the top

John Crehan and Andy O’Connor established their partnership in 2003. When sourcing a family of pigeons to race, they had sought the advice of another of Manchester’s ace partnerships in the form of Wall, Lunt and Green. On their advice, John and Andy acquired the best lines from Peter van de Merwe of Dordrecht, the Netherlands. Success was almost instant as they won 1st Altrincham & District federation in their forth young bird race. Since this time, the Crehan and O’Connor partnership has averaged over 25 x 1st prizes and 5 x 1st federations per year. They have topped the combine every single year since 2008 in all racing from 69 miles up to 390 miles with the combine having over 200 members and sending up to 6000 birds. 2014 has been another magical season as the partnership won 18 x 1st club, 5 x 1st federation with the stand-out performance being their 1st club, federation and combine win from 6300 pigeons with their yearling cock, named Bullet.  This excellent blood line hen is from Peter Van de Merwe & Andres Dreapa, has breed me winners in 2014 club and combine. She is only being sold because I must cut back birds in my loft. I am in the process of relocating my loss is your gain. MRL66@MSN.COM.
