Held in May and August, the Helderberg Pool Union (HPU) sent a formidable contingent of about 40 members, including players, managers and referees, to the 2025 South African National 8-Ball Pool Championship, held at the Madiba Banquet Hall in Potchefstroom, North-West Province. It was represented by a diverse range of teams, including ladies A and B, grand masters, masters, open and seniors as well as one junior player who joined another regional team. Although the teams did not advance to the finals, they successfully defended their positions in the A and D divisions, securing their places for next year's competition. The ladies' team put on a particularly strong showing, excelling in the doubles competitions and making it all the way to the semi-finals.
