Shared Premiership - 2026
2026 GPS Football Premiership Decided in Remarkably Tight Season
The 2026 GPS Football season will be remembered as one of the most competitive and evenly contested in recent years, culminating in a shared premiership between Nudgee College (NC) and Brisbane Boys’ College (BBC).
With no team able to navigate the nine-round season undefeated, the premiership race remained wide open from start to finish. NC and BBC both finished on 19 competition points, ahead of Gregory Terrace (15), The Southport School (12), Anglican Church Grammar School (11), Brisbane Grammar School (10), Brisbane State High School (9), Ipswich Grammar School (6), and Toowoomba Grammar School (1).
The pathway to the premiership reflected the balance across the competition: • BBC’s campaign included a key loss to Gregory Terrace and a hard-fought draw with TSS • NC suffered a loss to BBC and were held to a draw by ACGS
These results ensured no clear frontrunner emerged, with multiple schools remaining in contention deep into the season.
A Premiership Race to the Final Whistle The competition ultimately came down to the final round, with BBC holding their destiny in their own hands. A victory would secure at least a share of the premiership, while a draw or loss would have handed the title outright to NC.
In a fitting end to a tightly contested season, BBC secured the win required, confirming a shared premiership with NC — an outcome that reflects the consistency and resilience shown by both programs across the year.
Depth of Talent on Display Across the nine weeks of competition, 92 goals were scored, highlighting both the attacking quality and the overall standard of football across the GPS schools. Week-to-week results were consistently close, reinforcing the depth of talent and competitiveness of the competition.
A Season Defined by Parity More than any single result, the 2026 season underscored a key theme: any team, on any given weekend, had the capacity to influence the premiership outcome.
This level of parity not only delivered an engaging season for players and spectators alike but also speaks to the strength and development of football programs across the GPS Association.

BBC Crowned GPS Tennis Premiership Champions After Dominant Season
Brisbane Boys’ College (BBC) has secured the 2026 GPS Tennis Premiership, finishing the season on top of a highly competitive ladder and reaffirming its standing as the benchmark in schoolboy tennis.
BBC’s consistent excellence across all fixtures saw them finish with an impressive 16 premiership points, clear of a strong chasing pack led by Nudgee College (NC), who concluded the season with 14 points. Both programs demonstrated depth and resilience throughout the season, but it was BBC’s ability to deliver in key matchups that ultimately set them apart.
The race for third was tightly contested, with Gregory Terrace (GT) and The Southport School (TSS) sharing equal footing on 11 points. Both teams showcased quality tennis and remained in contention deep into the season, underlining the competitive balance across the GPS competition.
Brisbane Grammar School (BGS) finished fifth with 7 points, followed by Brisbane State High School (BSHS) on 6 points. Ipswich Grammar School (IGS) recorded 4 points, while Anglican Church Grammar School (ACGS) rounded out the ladder with 2 points.
Final Ladder
Season Summary The 2026 season was marked by high-quality tennis across all age groups, with schools demonstrating improved depth and competitiveness. BBC’s premiership campaign was built on balance and consistency, with strong performances across both singles and doubles rubbers proving decisive week after week.
Nudgee College’s runner-up finish reflects another strong year for their tennis program, pushing BBC throughout the season and maintaining pressure at the top of the table.
The shared third-place finish for GT and TSS highlights the evenly matched nature of the competition, with several rounds producing tightly contested results. Looking Ahead
With emerging talent across multiple programs and increasing depth across the competition, the GPS Tennis competition continues to strengthen year on year. The 2026 season provides a strong foundation heading into 2027, with schools expected to build on the progress and intensity shown this year.
The composition of 1st IV teams across the competition provides a strong indication of future competitiveness within the GPS Tennis landscape.
Several programs fielded notably young teams in 2026. The Southport School (TSS) had just one Year 12 student in its regular 1st IV, while Brisbane State High School (BSHS) similarly featured only one Year 12, with the remainder of the team comprising Year 11, 10 and even Year 9 students. Brisbane Boys’ College (BBC), the 2026 premiers, were predominantly made up of Year 11 students, reinforcing the strength of their program heading into 2027.
Brisbane Grammar School (BGS) and Ipswich Grammar School (IGS) both fielded balanced line-ups, blending senior players with emerging Year 10 talent, while Gregory Terrace (GT) also demonstrated a mix of year levels across its team.
In contrast, Nudgee College (NC) and Toowoomba Grammar School (TGS) relied on an experienced group, with a majority of Year 12 students. Anglican Church Grammar School (ACGS), is expected to grow as younger players progress through their program.
Overall, the spread of youth across several leading teams suggests strong continuity and a highly competitive 2027 season ahead, with multiple programs well-positioned to challenge for premiership honours.
