The North Herts Premier Pool League is a UK Eight ball pool league covering Hertfordshire in the southeast of England.
It is predominantly played at venues in the Hertfordshire towns of Stevenage, Hitchin, Letchworth, Ickleford and surrounding villages. The high-profile competition is home to current national and world ranked players such as Danny Miller, Michael Yates, Perry Gillett, Andy Barker, Michael Kent and Gareth Steele. Gareth Steele is certified by Guinness for holding a number of world pool records including the longest ever match in the history of pool.
The main rivalries include the clash of major pool forces from the three main towns: Stevenage, Hitchin and Letchworth. Tom Tiddlers is a team of Stevenage's elite players; Broadmead represents Hitchin; and the Pelican from Letchworth hails from their host The Baldock Pool League.
The league gained notoriety with several celebrities playing including Ed Westwick (Gossip Girl, J Edgar, Children of Men), Stephen Dorff (Blade, Space Truckers) and Milo Ventimiglia (Rocky Balbo) in preparation for his part in the Celebrity Pool TV series.
The league is sanctioned by the EPA, UK8Ball and Inview Sports Events.
