Vandenheede Freddy en Jacques: Kruisem (Zingem): 1st Prov. Bergerac and 1st Prov. Bourges

I apologize but my superlatives to describe the performance of the Vandenheede pigeons are simply running out. I - and am clearly not alone - have run out of words. Last weekend they took the provincial win at both Bourges and Bergerac. How many provincial wins is this? Even Jacques and Freddy have lost count. 

What they do know is that on Bergerac they won the 5 x 2nd national. The 2024 palmares at national level look more than impressive. To be clear, this is not the listing of an entire career ... no ... these are the national top prizes in 2024 from the end of May through the end of July. 

1st National Souillac 4,673 old. 
2nd National Bourges 24,006 old
2nd National Limoges 10,653 d.
2nd National Tulle 7,883 old. 
2nd National Brive 3,949 old
2nd National Bergerac 3,157 old

Coming winter period we will make an extensive report about this super season 2024 of Jacques and Freddy.
