The leaders in the Dutch premier league are facing a match with the number last this Sunday. SIS Schoonmaak will play with Jean van Erp as its front man, because Eddy Merckx is still in South Korea. The leading position will not be in danger and the titel defender can quietly watch the battle for second place. The Woonwonder team, fielding only Ismail Yasin of its foreign players, prepares a warm welcome for Cues&Darts, the other number two with also 15 match points from 11 matches. The Tilburger team will play with three strong foreigners: Robinson Morales, Jef Philipoom and Pierre Soumagne.
Dekker Keukens, Topbiljart Zundert and Team Eekhoorn, 1, 2 and 3 points behind the numbers two, are in the mood for a strong attack. That should happen for Dekker and Team Eekhoorn in the mutual encounter, in which particularly nice matches are on the cards. Dave Christiani and Barry van Beers shone at the Masters and will play against Peter Ceulemans and Frans van Kuyk. Topbiljart Zundert plays another interesting home match against Bousema Lochem, two teams that battled for the title not so long ago. Roland Forthomme, who is rarely missing, is the feared leader in Zundert. Missing for Bousema are two strong foreigners: Martin Horn and Murat Naci Coklu. Surely in the line-up: Johan Loncelle.
J&F Auto's faces long-time rival Dallinga.com in The Hague. Featuring on centerrcourt the ever-attractive match between Jeffrey Jorissen and Jean Paul de Bruijn. Glenn Hofman faces Peter De Backer at the second position. And finally, A1 Biljarts DPC is playing the home match against Burgmans Biljarts. Michael Nilsson is the occasional captain for the match against Anno de Kleine.
