3-Cushion & Free Game
ROSMALEN - The European women's top in three cushion and free games have gathered in De Hazelaar in Rosmalen this weekend for a battle in two disciplines. The conclusion after the first sessions, on Friday, is justified that the final days deserve a big and wonderful audience. The matches are fascinating, the level is high and about all top countries in billiards are represented. From the Dutch to the Belgians, from a new Greek rooky to some routine players like Mitterböck, Degener and Hamblikova. In short: very worth to take a look on Saturday and Sunday.
Sixteen ladies play on this Saturday for eight places in the quarterfinals, this evening at 21.00. Eight ladies battle it out for a place in the semi-finals. In both disciplines the semis are on Sunday at 12.30, the finals at 15.00.
Therese Klompenhouwer and Mirjam Pruim Emmens have already qualified for the quarterfinals. Furthermore, the fight is still open in the four groups. Christel Willemse and Karolien Matthijs made the best start in the free game.
