OOSTERHOUT – Peter Ceulemans and Jeffrey Jorissen were in the French league among the standouts for Albert's team this week. Tomorrow, Sunday, they face each other in the Dutch premier league in the match between Team Eekhoorn and J&F Auto's/Jorissen. The encounter is important for the numbers 8 and 9 to get away from the bottom spots in the DKM Tools league. SIS Schoonmaak, the frontrunner, plays a home match in the 15th round against Dekker/AP Sprundel, the number two of the league table at 7 points behind.
Thereby, interesting matches are on the agenda. For instance, Eddy Merckx plays Dave Christiani on centercourt, Raimond Burgman against Barry van Beers, Raymund Swertz against Gerwin Valentijn and Martien van der Spoel meets Henk Blauwblomme. The difference in match points is big, the averages also considerably. SIS Schoonmaak played in 14 matches with varying line-ups 1.478, Dekker reached 1.286 in 14 matches. Cues&Darts, the number 4 having a free weekend, did slightly better with 1,299.
Woonwonder Oosterhout can climb to second place in case of Dekker's point loss. Then the Brabant team has to score in the tricky away match against Bousema with its leader Johan Loncelle, who went to a stunning win over Semih Sayginer in the French competition a few days ago.
Dallinga is gearing up for Zundert this Sunday with Raymond Ceulemans (who will meet young Zundert player Sam van Etten) for a place higher in the middle order. The Zundert team has 16 out of 14, Dallinga has four points less with one match less played. Two Belgian guns are on the cards in Sluiskil: Roland Forthomme against Peter De Backer and Steven van Acker against Francis Forton. And finally, Burgmans Biljarts plays a home match against Post Luchtkanalen, the number 10 against the number 12 of the rankings with PBA player Eddy Leppens leading Burgmans.
