1st National Perpignan 2026 | Jay Lissenberg (Utrecht)

In this film, we visit Jay Lissenberg in Utrecht, together with his girlfriend Kitty Stevens. Jay grew up with the sport of pigeon racing and became a serious fancier at the age of 14. His success began in 2002, when he received a pair of youngsters from Harrie Brakelé. Since then, he has built an impressive record, including 19th National Pau, 5th National Perpignan and multiple Gouden Duif titles. But this film is mainly about an incredible achievement: winning Perpignan National 2026. Jay talks about the preparation, his feeling when sending the pigeons to the race, and especially that unforgettable night when the national winner arrived home at 2:11 AM. We also take a closer look at the winning pigeon and her impressive pedigree, including the “Tombola” bloodline, a national ace pigeon and previous top results from Pau, Perpignan and Agen. A fascinating story about racing at the highest level, but also about the love for the pigeon and the enjoyment Jay and Kitty get from the sport.
