DANIEL SANCHEZ In the beginning of his long and glorious career…

The Mayor of Piraeus Mr.Stelios Logothetis awarded him for his winning in the CEB/UMB WORLD CUP – BY SAKKAS BILLIARDS.

His compatriot Dion Nielin was second , while Nick Polychronopoulos made me very proud with his third place!

That was also the beginning of Nick’s professional career as an International Top player….
His path , like every Greek’s , was the hard one since 3cushions started here just a few years earlier , in comparison with his opponents , and the 100-150 years of their country’s experience ….

But we were very determined to make it at that time….
Being united was the key , except of the right moves of course…..
And the most important: manufacturers , importers , traders , club owners , and anyone who was making profits out of Billiards , was ready to trust each other and offer….
