Team Hooymans WVL Fastest Bourges provincial West-Flanders 6,187 pigeons

Since we as Herbots team like to put the provincial winners of a national race in the spotlight with a report, we already had to contact Team Hooymans WVL several times. Team Hooymans WVL - read caretaker Kristof Verstraete and supplier of top pigeons Jan Hooymans - have had a top season in Desselgem.
Besides the national victory from Tulle, several provincial victories were nailed to the proverbial ceiling and in the weekend of Aug. 10, it was “cake box” again.
Bourges III was on the program. The first national race for the young birds but also a national race for the yearlings and old birds. 
In the province of West-Flanders, 6,187 pigeons were basketed and the fastest has a Dutch ring around its leg and then you know that Team Hooymans WVL is the owner. 
Analyzing the provincial results of the 3 categories, one can only conclude that it “rained pigeons” in Desselgem

Provincial 737 yearlings: 1-6-10 etc....
Provincial 376 old: 1-2-4-5-8 etc..
Provincial 5,074 young: 3-5-6-15-17-20-39-50-53-54-61-67 etc....

We wrote it before... “There is no limit”...this sign should better be hung on the loft in Desselgem because the Hooymans pigeons really know no limits.
