Earlier in this report you can read that Bas and Ricardo had a fantastic overnight long distance season.
The performances which were laid down especially by pigeons out of the Hans and Evert-Jan Eijerkamp "Black GiantBlack Giant" line were responsible for winning the following titles:
At 73 years of age, Wim de Ruiter has been mad about the pigeon sport his entire life. Wim has problems with his lungs and without the tremendous help (entering his birds and clock knockoff) from Jan Lukkassen and Jan Jansen; Wim would no longer be an active pigeon fancier!
Wim has built his loft around pigeons he acquired mainly from Hans and Evert-Jan Eijerkamp.
The old blood lines he acquired from Hans and Evert-Jan Eijerkamp such as the Delbars and van der Wegen pigeons were crossed with pigeons from Jan van Kalkeren from Oosterhout.
From Jan Jansen he has van Wanroy pigeons (two out of the "DrogbaDrogba" line).
He has a granddaughter of the "Black GiantBlack Giant", from Wim te Hennepe from Aalten.
The Championship of the SMN was earned with the following performances:
The heavy lifting in winning the Championship was done by NL07-1501190, a red cock carrying the blood lines of the Delbar and van der Wegens acquired from Hans and Evert-Jan Eijerkamp and pigeons from Jan van Kalkeren.
The "190" flew the above mentioned prizes this season.
Ben and An winning 1st National Bordeaux Section II against 6,200 nords with their yearling hen nL09-1029928. She was entered in this race as widowhood hen after a preparation from Strombeek (180 km) and Orleans (547 km).
In her pedigree we see on mothers side the Eijerkamp lines of Braakhuis and Eijerkamp-Muller which Ben selected himself at the Eijerkamp lofts. This is another great achievement for Ben after his 7th National Barcelona in 2009.
In 2006 Albert Ubeda from Nijmegen obtained some late bred youngsters at Hans Eijerkamp and Sons including NL06-1768300. Because of this these birds first were trained in the autumn of 2007. In 2008 the '300' was entered for his first long distance race from Limoges in which he arrived to late. 3 weeks later he was entered again at Perigueux (831 km) and from this he won 1st in the club and 70th in the Region against 1,534 birds. He also won 1st Bergerac (870 km) in 2008 again in his club while in the Region the 70th position was won against 1,971 birds. In 2009 he again showed his capacities as he won 1st Limoges (739 km) in the club again and 97th against 1,413 birds in the Region. He also was entered in the Bordeaux race (905 km) and here he won 6th in the club and 129th against 1,151 birds in the Region.
In 2010 he was entered to Brive in which he returned injured. After this Albert did not want to enter him again but he recovered that well that the '300' was entered as single pigeon in the Cahors National. He did not disappoint his boss as he was clocked at 06.35.58 hrs out of Cahors. He won the Cahors National (912 km) with a velocity of 1187,551 m.p.m.
The "300" was bred from father's side from the great Van Wanroy family as his father was bred from a brother 'Shaidani' which means he is grandson to "Black GiantBlack Giant" mother "Shaidani" (bred from "Marseille Star" Eijerkamp-Muller x "De Smaragd" daughter 'Kleine Donkere').
In the pedigree of the mother we see great grandparents as "Golden Breeder" (Eijerkamp - Muller and son to the "Godfather" x mother "Madonna") as well as mother to "Lady Sarina" (1. Nat. Munich).

The youth takes over - Bart Verdeyen - Steenokkerzeel wins national Barcelona Belgium
Barcelona… for many 'the' race of the year… the 'top classic' by far… but also the race that places our pigeon sport in the 'international spotlights', simply because the entire World is watching… and following the arrivals closely.
Mother of the Barcelona winner is the 'Blue Van de Wouwer' B05-6069350… full sister of the 1° Ace pigeon KFC. A pity that both parents of the 'National Barcelona winner' aren't alive anymore… that was definitely a couple with 'music for the future'!
'Black Shadow' has given Bart Verdeyen the best victory of his career!

Seventy seven year old Leen has flown pigeons for almost fifty years.
He got his first Eijerkamp pigeons when he bought furniture for his living room and bed room. In 1994 a friend gave him furniture coupons for which he received, from Hans Eijerkamp and Sons, six pigeons out of the "Silvertoy" line.
An offspring of those pigeons, out of the NL94-2533283, won the 1st prize, this year on the one day distance NPO race from Chateaudun (493 km) in Section 12 against 4,837 pigeons.
The winner is a cheque cock the NL09-1089134 who was flown on widowhood. He was bred out of the "Silvertoy" x van de Wegen x Wigmans-line.
Leen has already bred several good youngsters out of the NL94-2533283.
