The ink over the 1st interprovincial from Blois for youngsters by Raf is hardly dry, and we now have to give him another feather to stick in his cap … this time for his provincial victory from La Souterraine by the youngsters in the coast province.
On the 10th of July the IWV had a race programmed for youngsters from the historical French city Blois. The fastest of the 3400 pigeons was the “Sylvère” from Raf Van Themsche who raced a distance of 398 km with a velocity of 1156,36m/m.
It was the “’t Fine Chequered” : 3138040/09 and the “Noël” : 3138168-09 respectively who provided Raf with the 1st and 2nd provincial in the coast province ! Consequently this was for their boss ‘the’ crowning of an up until then marvellous season with the youngsters.
