Season Highlights

The 2026 season will be remembered for the sheer audacity of Gladstone. To go through an entire Division A season without a single loss is the kind of stuff legends are made of.

Lever Club B, Little Sutton, and Arno Tixall were locked in a breathless pursuit for the crown, separated by nothing more than the margin of a few woods. It was a race that went right down to the wire, testing the temperament of every player involved. In the end, Lever Club B’s ability to secure the necessary points proved the difference between glory and heartbreak.
