The Belgian team competition has a three-team lead again after the 8th round. The Op de Meir team joined Biljart Express and Mr. 100 on Tuesday evening. This week's best player was 69-year-old Rudy de Laet, playing for BC Zevenbergen, in a match against Gerwin Valentijn: 40-23 in 15 innings, averaging 2.666. He's the player in form, as a few weeks ago, De Laet, a retired laborer, also outscored all the top players in the Belgian top division.
In T's Place against De Witte Molen, Peter De Backer was the excellent leader, winning against Johan Loncelle: 40-19 in 17 innings, averaging 2.352. Barry van Beers achieved the same average against Koen Saver in the match between Op de Meir and Brugse. Other high scores were recorded by Peter Ceulemans and Jeffrey Jorissen with 1.904, Therese Klompenhouwer with 1.666, and two players with 1.538: Davy van Havere and Roland Uijtdewillegen.
BC Op de Meir won its home match against Brugse 8-0 on Tuesday evening thanks to Jef Philipoom, Barry van Beers, Roland Uijtdewillegen, and Wesley de Jaeger. There was no doubt about the difference in match scores: all four victories were achieved with comfortable scores. T's Place maintained its mid-table position with a 6-2 victory over De Witte Molen, with Peter De Backer and Steven van Acker as the top players. For De Witte Molen, only Ad Broeders defeated Huub Wilkowski 40-37 in 37.
