Presenting to the Billiard Community in The Villages 2015 TRIPLE CROWN of BILLIARDS FEENEY CUP POWER POOL RANKINGS LADIES CUP Sponsored by the Villages Billiards Club One of the many amenities the residents of The Villages enjoy, as part of our active lifestyle, is the sport of billiards. And, as in any recreational and/or competitive endeavor there are plateau s ranging from casual through to more intense levels of participation. There are those who strive to heighten their skill level as well as enjoy the environment of inter-action competitive action. It is to these players who have earned a position to participate, and to others who will follow, that we recognize them for their considerable talent and dedication to our sport. We present them as members of the TRIPLE CROWN of BILLIARDS in The Villages. We salute these fine athletes and all of the residents who support and participate in billiard activities and events in The Villages.
