Starting 14/12/25 8pm - Ending 20/12/25 5pm
*** THESE PIGEONS ARE WITH WILLIAM DONACHIE***
======================================================================================
On offer from KINGSWAY LOFTS UK is a unique special draft of pigeons especially selected for auction for EXCELSIOR PIGEON AUCTIONS.
Most of the pigeons on offer will be the first ever from some of the special stock pairs housed here at the stock lofts… bred from the families
of direct JAN HOOYMANS, HERMAN CEUSTER, SYNDICATE LOFTS, FOXY LADY (Price Bros) and ALFIE HAWTHORN.
These pigeons contributed hugely to our (B.McCrindle, Son & Donachie) recent success in the 2025 young bird season winning 2x1st Federation & 6x1st Section Fed (104 Open Fed positions) in the mighty Lanarkshire Racing Pigeon Federation winning the Young Bird Averages for the fourth time from 5 seasons…
These pigeons also raced from B.McCrindle & Son loft in 2022/2023 and once again contributed to the loft winning the LRPF Young Bird Averages both years; winning 8x1st Federation from 12 races, 2nd ACE UK YOUNG BIRD TITAN GAMES 2022, etc…
These pigeons also fly with great consistency in one loft racing, I have previously won 1st Open Final Race Algarve Great Derby OLR and 1st Open Final Race Derby Moledo OLR plus many top positions in Final Races, Semi Final Races and Hot Spot Races, winning in excess of 50 times 1st UK pigeon.
During seasons 2022/2023 an opportunity arose to race my young pigeons in one of the largest Federations in the UK/Europe from the loft of Barclay McCrindle & Son, Shotts who race with the mighty Lanarkshire Federation.
A selection of young birds from my Frans Zwols, Herman Ceusters and Jan Hooymans were tested there, and along with Barclay’s own pigeons they won the Federation Young Bird Averages both seasons, for these results:
