With two matches remaining after the short winter break, Aartsbouw/Domicili is the leader in the Kozoom League, the top league three-cushion in the Netherlands. The Sprundel team plays a home match against RCN Nieuwegein this Sunday (November 30th) and closes the year on December 21st with an away match against Bousema Lochem/JBSCues.nl. Two tough matches remain before the leaders take a break until January 11th and then restart with an away match against Van Baal in Zundert. Aartsbouw is certainly feeling the heat from Bousema, their next opponent, after both teams make the run-up this Sunday. Aartsbouw gathered 14 points out of 8, Bousema has 13 points out of 8, followed by Cues&Darts with 12 points out of 9 and Team Eekhoorn with 11 points out of 8.
It should still be a close sprint between the four teams in the top group. On Sunday, November 30th, Bousema plays the away match against Cues&Darts, both teams featuring three Dutch players and one Belgian. Glenn Hofman and Jeffrey Jorissen is the Hague clash on center court. Jef Philipoom plays against Johan Loncelle, two Belgians who just returned from the team matches in France. Huub Wilkowski will face Paul Bruijstens, and Joey de Kok plays Frans van Schaik.
Aartsbouw has brought over its Turkish top player Turgay Orak for the home match against RCN Nieuwegein. He will face Gerwin Valentijn. Eddy Merckx will play against Dave Christiani, who played an absolutely top match last week.
Team Eekhoorn and Van Baal will field their strongest line-ups for a match with a chance to close the gap to the top of the standings. SIS/Vervoort meets Paperclip, featuring two longtime friends and rivals: Dick Jaspers and Raimond Burgman.
In the lower divisions, the stakes will be high between Harwig OERbesitas and Burgmans Biljarts.
