Vanmeert Roger & Koen (Zelem) wins 3 x 1st Provincial in one weekend
23 Jul 2024
Last weekend the first provincial race or young pigeons in the middle distance was on the calendar in the province of Limburg. With the hot temperatures they provided, this became a first test, lofts that dare to take the leap or make choices like everyone else, of course. A total of 2,237 young pigeons started here, the winner of the young pigeons and old pigeons is the father and son combination Vanmeert Roger & Koen from Zelem.
Coincidentally, they had not really expected the pigeons yet and were still sitting quietly in the house. A few stragglers had arrived from the previous flights, causing the mobile phone to beep a few times, but they had paid no attention to this. Luckily for them, they both will have entered smoothly. This means they have won 2 x 1st provincial prizes from Sens. Their old pigeon is their best cock, which last year also became 2nd National Ace Pigeon Middle Distance KBDB 2023 and is in the last weeks of its racing career. Afterwards La Souterraine had to come and they were alert, which was fortunate because these pigeons did not squeak when entering the loft and they had to hold the antenna again. Coincidence or not that it is precisely the pigeon that you see walking in and not the other way around, otherwise they would probably have had one less provincial victory.
