Eijerkamp Hans & Evert-Jan continue to dominate Dutch pigeon racing
21 Oct 2025
Their results read like a fairytale...it's impossible to imagine how strong Team Eijerkamp is every week. Always ready to knock out the competition. In 2025, the power of the Eijerkamp pigeons knew no bounds, and they once again dominated Dutch pigeon racing.
One thing is crystal clear...the strategy that has allowed the Eijerkamp family to remain at the top of Dutch pigeon racing for decades is meticulously thought-out. A formula for success that requires not only the necessary investment but also the tireless efforts of a highly motivated team.
Highlights from the 2025 season include:
1. Olympiade pigeon Middle Distance 2026 – ‘Olympic Evelyne’
1. Olympiade pigeon Grown Up 2026 – ‘Olympic Amber’

And also at the satellite loft in Laren – playing under the name Eijerkamp-Paalman – it was a pleasure to wait for the pigeons every week:

As already mentioned, Hans and Evert-Jan never rest on their laurels when it comes to strengthening their already strong foundation. They possess a special knack for being among the first to approach emerging champions, as in 2018 when they approached the brothers Andre and Bert Leideman. They also purchased several youngsters to race with in 2019, and behold, a new success story was born. These youngsters were raced exclusively in the Natour competition, where a direct Leideman hen, 'Speedy Grizzle', became 1st National Ace Pigeon Speed/Natour WHZB/TBOTB.
"Speedy Grizzle" was granted a ticket for the breeding loft, and in the meantime, descendants of "Speedy Grizzle" have already achieved the following top results:
1st Prov. Ace Pigeon SFG 2022
5th National Ace Pigeon Sprint NPO/WHZB 2024
4th Provincial Ace Pigeon Section 8 All-round 100km-500km in 2024
7th Ace Pigeon Federation 2023
When, due to a necessary move in 2020, Andre and Bert Leideman's entire racing team was sold, Team Eijerkamp had to dig deep into their pockets to acquire several top pigeons, including 'Viton' and 'Daughter Goed Grijs', the parents of 'Speedy Grizzle'.
Super pair "Viton" x "Daughter Goed Grijs"
Both 'Viton' and 'Daughter Goed Grijs' had already achieved victories in the lofts of the Leidemannetjes brothers, and in a short time, they also became parents and grandparents of several ace pigeons and first-prize winners in Brummen.
Descendants of "Viton" x "Daughter Goed Grijs" have won the following prizes:1. Arlon tegen 18,434 duiven
