Higher Education Snooker and Pool Council

UUC Coleraine, 2008 Team Champions

The Higher Education Snooker and Pool Council is the official governing body for higher education snooker and pool on the island of Ireland. HESPC exists solely to promote the playing of cue sports in the HE sector and to encourage competitive international fixtures with comparable teams from Great Britain. Our two major events each year are the snooker intervarsities held before Christmas, and the pool intervarsities at the start of February.
