We got a nice reference from Ben and Michelle de Kramer from Lutjebroek. Their NL20-1390658 ‘Audrey’, a granddaughter to ‘Hannibal’ and ‘Indy’ and 50% Ebben, became 1st PROVINCIAL Ace Pigeon Super Short Distance and 10th Provincial Ace Overall this year. 

In a big part of the Netherlands the last races were kept in the weekend of 11 and 12 September. We won the 1st prize in our province from Morlincourt against 6.385 birds with our 'Paulina', but so did our friend and '2nd loft' Frans Strikker. 

On August 21st a race from Bierges was kept in Afdeling 8/ZW. Jaap Schut from Kootwijkerbroek won the 1st prize against 2,063 pigeons with a 50% Ebbenpigeon. 

Last weekend we had nice races with headwinds, as has been the case throughout the year, Frans' pigeons were in good shape. He entered 10 pigeons for this race and won 9 prize cards of which 5 x 1:100 and 8 x 1:10. 

Last weekend the first youngbird race with headwinds was kept in our section. It became a very tough race, only the best pigeons in the best shape were able to win this race. 

A nice reference which we almost forgot to mention comes from our friend Frans Strikker from Hengelo. About two months ago their pigeons were liberated in Chalons en Champagne (405 kms) 

After winning 1st Geel 3,459 birds and 1st & 2nd Tongeren 1.761 birds with Ebbenpigeons, combination Hendriks-Sanders from Nijmegen won 1st Morlincourt 1,667 a few weeks ago with a 100% Ebbenpigeon 

After winning 1st Geel 3,459 b with a 100% Ebbenpigeon on July 10th, combination Hendriks-Sanders won 1st & 2nd Tongeren 1.761 duiven birds only a week later!
