| After the Christmas break, I started playing in a new team. Together with Aydan of Club 8 Amsterdam I came up with the idea of playing in Club 8 Amsterdam shirts and naming the team likewise. My team mates in New York liked the idea, and now we play in Club 8 Amsterdam shirts. The 9-ball league started Thursday, January 20, 2005 and will run until late May 2005.
