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.

**GT Crowned GPS Volleyball Premiers in a Season of Depth and Development **
The 2026 GPS Volleyball season has concluded with GT claiming the premiership outright and undefeated, a standout achievement following a shared title in 2025. Demonstrating consistency, composure and quality across the entire season, GT finished on top of the ladder with 16 points, setting the benchmark for GPS volleyball.
While GT remained unbeaten, the season as a whole was fiercely competitive, with strong performances across the ladder highlighting the growing depth of volleyball within GPS schools. Each round delivered high‑quality contests, testing athletes tactically and mentally, and reinforcing the strength of school volleyball programs across the association.
NC finished second on 14 points after a strong campaign that kept pressure on the premiers throughout the season. BBC claimed third on 12 points, showcasing continued development and depth, while BGS finished fourth on 10 points following several impressive performances. A tightly contested mid‑table saw ACGS, TGS and BSHS finish equal fifth on six points, illustrating how narrow the margins were across the competition. IGS concluded the season on two points.
A significant milestone in 2026 was the inclusion of The Southport School (TSS) in their maiden GPS Volleyball season. While the results did not yet reflect their long‑term potential, TSS embraced the challenge of competing at GPS level, gaining valuable experience and lessons that will underpin future growth. Their entry marks an important step in the continued expansion and development of volleyball across the association.
Beyond premiership points and ladder positions, the season reinforced a broader and exciting narrative — GPS volleyball continues to develop athletes with genuine pathways ahead of them. These students represent the future of the sport, with many already aspiring to higher honours and national representation. With Brisbane hosting the 2032 Olympic Games, today’s GPS volleyballers will be eyeing the opportunity to progress through state and national pathways with the ultimate goal of wearing the green and gold.
As the 2026 season comes to a close, GT’s undefeated premiership stands as a testament to excellence, preparation and performance, while the overall competition reflects the strong health and promising future of GPS volleyball.
