ZUNDERT - Tomorrow (Friday from 19.30) billiard fans can enjoy a nice match in the Dutch premier league. Two teams catch up from the previous round, Zundert and Dekker face each other in a match that is important for the positions for the play-offs. Zundert shows up with its strong, secret weapon Roland Forthomme, Dekker in the traditional line-up. Kozoom will broadcast the match live.
Topbiljart Zundert and Dekker/AP Sprundel are ranked 4th and 5th with a four points margin. Zundert can extend that to six by winning, Dekker can close the gap to two points by winning. Next weekend there are two more rounds in which the decisions are made. Dekker plays away to SIS Schoonmaak and at home against Team Eekhoorn, so a heavy schedule. Zundert plays away against Burgmans Biljarts and at home against SIS Schoonmaak, certainly no walkovers for this team either. Topbiljart Zundert also has a two-point lead over Bousema, which is in fifth place in the rankings. The battle burns out once more in all ferocity on Saturday (11 May) and Sunday (12 May) with just about all the big names in the teams such as Tayfun Tasdemir, Martin Horn, Eddy Merckx, Turgay Orak, Birol Uymaz, Nikos Polychronopoulos and, in Dallinga's team, the great master Raymond Ceulemans.

STZ Zundert-Dekker/APSprundel
Roland Forthomme-Dave Christiani
Thorsten Frings-Barry van Beers
Sam van Etten-Gerwin Valentijn
