TSS Crowned 2026 Cricket Premiers – Four in a Row

The Southport School has once again etched its name into GPS cricket history, claiming the 2026 Premiership and securing an extraordinary four consecutive titles after premiership wins in 2023, 2024, 2025 and now 2026.

It is a run of dominance that sets the benchmark for the competition — and leaves many asking: what (or who) will stop them?

The 2026 season was fiercely contested from start to finish, with no team finishing the year unbeaten. TSS completed the season with just one loss, while BGS and NC followed closely, each finishing with two defeats. The highlight moment came in Round 8, when BGS produced a statement performance to hand TSS their only loss of the season, denying them an undefeated campaign.

Despite that setback, TSS approached the season with relentless intent, playing for bonus points and executing consistently across all rounds. That focus was rewarded with an impressive eight bonus points, proving decisive in separating them from the chasing pack on the ladder.

The season was also blessed with excellent weather conditions, allowing the competition to unfold largely uninterrupted, with only minor rain delays across the term — a welcome relief for players, coaches and officials alike.

Individual performances across the competition were outstanding and highlighted the depth of talent on display. Four players from four different schools surpassed 300 runs for the season, with Abhay Dhaliwal (NC) claiming top run‑scorer honours on 360 runs. With the ball, Tye Beer (BGS) was in a class of his own, finishing the season with 22 wickets, a clear margin ahead of the next closest tally of 16. In the field, Mitch Harte (IGS) set the standard, taking 12 catches across the season.

For many students, 2026 marked their final opportunity to represent their school in GPS cricket, and the competitiveness and sportsmanship shown throughout the season ensured it was a fitting farewell. The quality of matches, the closeness of results and the standard of play reflected a competition in excellent health.

Congratulations to TSS — 2026 GPS Cricket Premiers, and to all schools, players and staff who contributed to a memorable and highly competitive season.
