3-Cushion
The first round on thursday is probably already deciding for which team is forcing his way through to the final on saturday and sunday. Van Donge & De Roo showed their supremacy once again and were unstoppable, they've proven again to be a very strong team what resulted in a clean 8-0 win against Snellen Recycling. Also Crystal Kelly is on track on their way to the final, they beat the local favourits (Delta/Fast Bouwservice) by 6-2.
Van Erp had a great start in his match against Harrie van de Ven, scored a nice run of 14 and was averaging 3.000 moy. He had to step back a little at the end, used more innings as planned but still finished in 30 innings. Jaspers, Horn and Blomdahl did what they had to do and finished all within 31 innings. They all dictaded the match from the beginning till the end, Blomdahl played the best game; he averaged 2.000.
Crystal Kelly is saying farewell at the end of this month. It was decided the team will not continue next season, so with only the Dutch Play Offs and the Nice tournament on the calendar it can be a great gesture to the sponsor and fans to take the Dutch title….
Van Kuyk played a decent match against de Bruijn, played over 2.000 average and degrated the local hero, even the run of twelve couldn't prevent his loss.
Caudron needed a few innings to start his jet-engine, this took him 6 innings. Leppens, who had the feeling to get some chances against his good friend, was wrong and could only watch Caudron scoring point after point.
Hofman was responsible for the only Delta win by beating Mr. 100, Raymond Ceulemans, in 44 innings.
The returns are planned for today, starting at 13:00 hrs.
