Bosmans-Leekens (Beverlo): 16 First Prizes in Just 10 Weeks!

One thing is key in pigeon racing: consistency at the top. And that is exactly what Bosmans-Leekens from Beverlo proved in the spring of 2025. In just 10 weeks, they collected 16 first prizes, and no fewer than 38 first prize doubles including. Already an astonishing record from the absolute beginning of the 2025 season.
