HAARLO/THE HAGUE - The two front runners in the three-cushion league, the Buffalo League, start up the second part of the competition in the same line-up. There was no reason to enter the transfer market: SIS Schoonmaak and HCR Prinsen are strong enough to continue the battle for the title in this compositions. The most important transfer is Javier Palazón to A1 Biljarts. The Spaniard starts this Sunday as the leader in the match against De Veemarkt. Adnan Yüksel joins L&B Ledermode, DPC has attracted the strong, young Spaniard David Martinez. The multicultural team of Danny Molier plays in the league this Sunday with a Greek, a Turk, a Spaniard and a Frenchman.
In De Veemarkt, Can Capak and Ramazan Durdu don't return. Dirk Weeremans and Adri Demming are the substitutes. Scholling left for Bousema and Sander Jonen is the substitute. Dallinga.com said goodbye to Marco Janssen. Another Belgian, Koen Saver, comes to replace him.
SIS Cleansing meets in theory an opponent on Sunday, for the twelfth round of the competition, which should cause no problems. 't Hartje/Van Wanrooy makes the trip to The Hague, which, as usual, start in its strongest line-up. HCR Prinsen faces a more difficult mission in the home match against Dallinga.com. The two leading players in the Zeeuws team, Frédéric Caudron and Jean Paul de Bruijn, are available. Dick Jaspers, who plays in the German league, is missing at Prinsen, so Caudron faces Leppens. Jef Philipoom plays against De Bruijn.
DPC wants to take a stab at the play-off places and meets STZ Zundert at full strength. Nikos Polychronopoulos comes from Greece, Birol Uymaz from Turkey and David Martinez from Spain. The Frenchman Richard Bitalis is the fourth man in the mixed company of Danny Molier.
Team Eekhoorn against L&B Ledermode should be an interesting meeting. The home team has replaced Kenny Miatton for Jack Wijnen.
Javier Palazón and Michael Nilsson form the strong leading part of A1 Biljarts in the away match against De Veemarkt.
