As a crowning achievement, the 4th National Asduif Sprint Young KBDB ’24 & 1st Provincial Asduif Sprint Young ’24 allows us to speak of a grand cru year at the home of Gert De Swaef.
With consistently small numbers in races, this superman is hitting hard weekly on the beloved flight from Noyon.
Not only top prizes but also high prize percentages are his trademarks.
In one of the strongest speed competitions in our country, the De Swaef pigeons clearly find their way to the podium, often completely taking it over!
