===================================================================================================

Pigeon racing has been in the Cowell family for over 70 years, Mark & Dave Cowell are a father and 

son partnership, who race in Kent under the name of M.J Cowell & Son and in the East Midlands 

under the name of D Cowell. The M.J Cowell & son racing name originates from Mark’s father and 

Dave’s grandad, Melvin James Cowell, who Mark successfully raced in partnership with for many 

years, up until Melvin sadly passed away. It’s safe to say that racing runs in their blood with Mark, 

Melvin and his wife Linda running local clubs in Thanet for many decades. As 2nd and 3rd generation 

Cowell family racers Mark and Dave are hoping that the 4th generation isn’t far away, with a couple 

of Mark’s 8 grandchildren expressing an interest in the birds too.

In the last 5-6 years they have won over 60 x 1st prizes at club, fed and national levels. 

60 x 1st Club, 17x 1st fed/ joint liberations racing against an average of 150 – 500 birds in their clubs and up to 1500 

birds in Feds and joint liberations. For the 5th consecutive year running Dave was the combined 

points champion in a very competitive club and has won in 3 different Federations, in 3 different 

consecutive years, with 3 different Fed loft positions; shortest flyer, mid flyer and longest flyer on a 

dog let. Proving that Dave & Marks birds win in any wind, at any speed, and with any loft location. 

Dave & Mark only buy directly and as close to the tree as possible from trusted, reputable sources 

such as Herbots, Marcel Sangers, PIPA, H&E J. Eijerkamp, Louella, P&D Racing & Breeding stud, 

Excelsior, Premier Stud, Alfie Hawthorn and Buck de Kruijf just to name a few. If you are looking for 

birds that win consistently and out of turn, look no further!

Mark & Dave Cowell (Cowell’s Ceusters)

Mark & Dave only race small teams normally around 20 - 30 pigeons, with a motto of “small teams, 

big results”. They only gift and sell around 20 birds a year, normally through direct requests, swaps, 

gifts to new starters or novices or donations to charity auctions. So, considering the small numbers 

they distribute their results are even more impressive!
