PRESS ARTICLES MARIJN

 

Laureyns Marijn, "General East-Flemish champion 2007 and Emporer of the Meetjesland"
Author: Johny Carrette / Edited by: Martin Degrave
Written on: 01/02/2008

Maldegem, Kleit a small rural hamlet in the meetjesland. The meetjesland is a region in the north west of the province East- Flanders. It adjoins in the north to the Dutch Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, in the west to the province West-Vlaanderen and in the east and south to the region Ghent. A region that contains about 40 municipalities. In this area they treat the pigeon sport seriously. Lat year we also visited Marijn Laureyns and talked about his remarkable results. In his own words, this year was a terrible year for him. He wasn't spared any setbacks and nearly every week something happened to make him want to stop. Despite everything and after adding up the points he was East Flemish provincial champion and for the 3rd time in a row he was general "Champion of the Meetjesland". Because he has won this championship for 3 times in a row, he will be crowned
"Emporer of the Meetjesland". He remains calm about everything and is not one to boast.

Setbacks and East Flemish general champion 2007

Even though he was general champion, Marijn is not satisfied with his season where he definitely wasn't spared any setbacks. The 486/05 returned wounded from his first race and couldn't race for the rest of the season.
Last year he raced from Clermont 5/ 205, Ablis 1/ 313, Bourges 6/280, La Souterainne 1/ 135 and Limoges nat. 7/ 15.507.
After the 2nd Ablis it was miss yet again because the 2 best racing pigeons both returned wounded, then a group of youngsters flew nto the high voltage wires with the result that a few died, and later the 2 best youngsters were found underneath the pylons in Sleidinge, if you also take into account the fact that a bird of prey managed to enter the aviary and wreaked havoc then you can understand that things hadn't gone well for Marijn. The provincial title was achieved through 4 classifications in the provincial championships. He was 24th in the Middle Distance old pigeons, 8th in the Long Distance championships with 5 prizes, 21st in the Middle Distance for youngsters and 14th in the sprint races for yongsters.

General champion of the Meetjesland…

Marijn attaches a lot of value on this championship. This is a championship that is organised every year by "De Vriendenkring van het Meetjesland" for the fanciers from 40 municipalities. The disciplines sprint, middle distance and long distance are raced and in every discipline there is a championship with 1st + 2nd nominated pigeons, an ace pigeon old birds and an ace pigeon young birds. Whoever manages to classify best in all these disciplines is declared general champion. In 8 years, Marijn was crowned general champion 6 times. This year it is for the third time in a row that he is genral champion so that this year he can climb the podium as "Emporer". It is obvious that only an all-rounder as Marijn can win this championship because you have to be able to win prizes from 50km to 1000km.

The strains…

Even though there is raced here at a very high level, it is amazing that there have been so few pedigrees and strains bought over the years. He only couples and crosses a few pigeons with his old strain that is based on pigeons from Filip De Muynck from Eeklo.
The attained pigeons are put to the test and have to be a good acquisition for the loft. This is probably why only a few pigeons manage to gain a place in the breeding loft "Laureyns". The pigeons hat have been crossed successfully are from Marnix De Decker from Assenede, Schoors-Dewaele from Adegem, Antoine Timmerman from Knesselare, Raymond Cromheecke from Maldegem and Germain Van Landschoot from Maldegem.

Marijn Laureyns achieves top positions in races from Moeskroen till Limoges
Author: Johny Carrette / Edited by: Martin Degrave
Written on: 01/10/2006

Kleit is a small village lying in the East Flemish region Meetjesland and a formerly independent municipality now being part of the city of Maldegem. A few weeks ago Kleit was all over the news when heavy downpours flooded the village. Normally the village is known as a calm and peaceful place. It only hits the headlines when pigeon racing is involved. A few top fanciers live very close to each other here and competition is cutthroat. They will do nearly everything to take the wind out of each other’s sails. We visited Marijn Laureyns who, despite being away from home for many hours because of his demanding job, wins about 20 first prizes each season and can without doubt be seen as one of the best fanciers in his region.

Pigeon racing requires organisation

As a reporter for pigeon magazines I only came across a very limited number of fanciers who were able to present to me such a series of outstanding results. First prizes are won here on a weekly basis so to speak. Marijn can prove that he achieves prize percentages of sometimes 80 per cent or even more. In spite of being so successful, Marijn keeps cool and doesn’t boast. “My wife and I make every effort to perform well, even though we don’t have that much time to spend on pigeon racing. Everything has to be well organised. Marijn leaves for work every morning around 6 am. At that moment in the summer, the pigeons are already outside training around the loft. Everything is already set for his wife to call in the pigeons and feed them a bit later. She goes to work as well and leaves home around 8 am. Many champions who are jealous of Marijn’s performances are at that time still sound asleep.

The system

Only if necessary a veterinarian is consulted. In the beginning of the week the pigeons are given tea and garlic, whereas on Thursday they are fed vitamins.
On Monday about three heads of lettuce and some carrots (to be shred) are purchased and abundantly served throughout the week. Each day all pigeons are given fresh grit. All of this should enable the pigeons to perform during the weekend. Each year the racing season starts with a team of about 20 widowers, 60 youngsters and about 4 old hens.

Strain buildup

Even though Marijn performs at a very high level it is remarkable that only so few new bloodlines were brought in over the years. Marijn only crossed a couple of pigeons with his old strain which is based on pigeons from Filip De Muynck from Eeklo. The new reinforcements are thoroughly tested and must take the loft to a higher level. That probably explains why only so few succeed in ending up in Marijn’s breeding loft. The pigeons that were successfully crossed with are those of Marnix De Decker from Assenede, Schoors-Dewaele from Adegem, Antoine Timmerman from Knesselare and Raymond Cromheecke from Maldegem.
