1-2-3 for Gough and Reed as Boston and District Flying Club compete from Sedgfield
There was a hat-trick on Saturday for the pigeon racing partnership of Gough and Reed, masterminded by George Gough, when they took the first three positions in Boston and District Flying Club’s 130-mile race from Sedgefield
Liberated in a south west wind, the birds were well separated by the time they reached home, as is reflected in the leading velocities.
