Last weekend the provincial NPO race from Sens was on the calendar for the province of Limburg in the Netherlands. The pigeons were only released on Sunday at 12:00 for a distance of 412km. The first arrival at Team Van de Pasch was a yearling hen that won 1st in the North department against 2,256 pigeons and won 3rd prize in the NPO race against 12,589 pigeons. The 2nd pigeon from the north department flies no less than 22m/min less than the winner. A top performance from this hen and in recent weeks they have been doing very well again in Grubbenvorst.
