Team 1 Arjan cs, 3rd division.
After a flashy start, the team looked like it was going to compete for the championship, but Pecos proved too strong. Still, they came in a good 2nd with 58 points. As the national league will play with 4 versus 4 next season, Harish and Ece will join the team.
Team 2 Ladi cs, 1st class.
An excellent 3rd place (58 points), thanks to star player Harish and youngster Jeffrey, who is playing better and better. Ronald also flew in from Switzerland with 2 fine wins against champion Disnierats.
Team 3 Gijs cs, 2nd class.
Because Sourabh could not play much, the line-up was sometimes a bit finicky. However, with a third place (58 points), the team maintained a good position. Also because Makarand had a strong season after his injury (74% win).
Team 4 Harry cs, 3rd class.
Here the teams were very, very close together. Amstelveen eventually came 4th with 53 points, just 3 points below champion Nieuw Vennep. Arkady managed to win no less than 92% of his matches, great performance!
Team 5 Andrei cs, 3rd class.
Mainly due to William’s inability to play – he was spending the winter in Suriname – the team unfortunately did not make it and was narrowly relegated with the last place (31 points).
Team 6 Atie cs, 4th class.
This team finished with a fine 2nd place (63 points). Aravindhan in particular, with 87% of his matches won, was almost unbeatable.
Team 7 Georgios cs, 4th class.
This team with a lot of new players (Aset, Silvan) and old acquaintances (Roy) nicely retained with a 4th place (50 points). An excellent result.
Team 8 Gerard cs, 5th class.
Were excellent runners-up (51 points in a pool of only 5 teams)! Good old Jaap Boerop (now 90 years old!) still managed to win 33% of his matches. Fortunately, Dnyanesh had also recovered from his injury.
Team 9 Marco cs, 5th division.
Again a team with new players (Erast, Crystle) in which Crystle in particular stood out by winning no less than 67% of her matches. This helped the team to maintain the 5th place with 34 points.
