SLUISKIL – Cues&Darts's painful away loss against Aartsbouw has prompted a call for revenge in the Dutch team premier league. The reigning champions face another tough challenge after that 7-1 defeat on Sunday afternoon. Dallinga, from Zeeland, are a wonderful opponent at home: the champions' arrival will undoubtedly draw a packed house of home fans. They will see, among other things, the match between Jean Paul de Bruijn and Glenn Hofman, Peter De Backer plays against Ruben Legazpi, Steven van Acker plays against Therese Klompenhouwer, and Berry Dallinga meets Joey de Kok, two of the better Zeelanders facing off. At stake: a place in the sub-top for Dallinga, and a return to the top three for Cues&Darts
Bousema Lochem, led by Tayfun Tasdemir, faces RCN Nieuwegein, while Team Eekhoorn plays away against Paperclip, with Jaspers-Polychronopoulos as the top match. On this 9th matchday, Aartsbouw gets a regular day off, but Eddy Merckx's team will certainly maintain their lead with 14 points from 8 matches.
Harwig and Burgmans will be looking for their first victory in this competition in the Brabant matches. Harwig travels to SIS Biljart, while Burgmans plays at home against Van Baal.
