With the highlight being the 4th National Ace Pigeon Sprint Young KBDB '24 & 1st Provincial Ace Pigeon Sprint Young '24, we can once again speak of a grand-cru year at Gert De Swaef's home.
With always small numbers in competition, this Superman consistently delivers outstanding performances on the beloved flight from Noyon every week.
Not only winning prices but also high price percentages are the trademarks here.
In one of the strongest speed competitions our country has to offer, the De Swaef pigeons clearly know their way to the podium, often entirely dominating it!
