Asse Zellik: 3-4-5th fastest against more than 10.000 birds!! Included 2 daughters Harry!!

At Saturday 15. April, our first short distance race was on the program, a race from Asse Zellik (124km).
We participated with a team of 107 birds.

At 2:15 PM, the regios B+C from our department let fly the birds in Asse Zellik. A total of 10.813 birds did participate.
The birds had a strong north/west wind on the route to home, so they had to work for it.

At 3:41 PM, our first 3 birds arrived, all widowhood-hens.
Shortly after, many birds arrived and they came home like trains.
The hens did it much better than the cocks.

The result in the club was 2-3-4-9 against 458 birds.
In our region against 2.054 birds, we won 2-3-4-11-27-29-31-36-37-43-44-45-67-83- etc.
31 prizecards in the best 10% and 44 prizes of 107 birds!
