Tournelle – Hua Feng (Rummen) wins 1st Provincial Argenton 1,111 yearlings

26 Jul 2025

After coming so close to a national victory at Argenton this year, the Tournelle-Hua Feng combination from Rummen in Flemish Brabant came close again. The yearling hen won 3rd National against 6,523 pigeons and was also the fastest in our province of 1,111 yearlings.

With 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 11th, 12th, 14th, 15th, and 18th nationally, they now have eight national top 20 finishes this season, after another fantastic season last year. The young birds are also performing very well, and with Bourges on the horizon, we expect fireworks there as well.
