🏆 2026 Sharkskin NSW IRB Premiership — Round 1 Results. Caves Beach have come out swinging, they’ve opened 2026 on top.
ROUND 1 LEADERBOARD
🥇 Caves Beach — 129
🥈 North Cronulla — 77
🥉 Bondi — 74
= South Maroubra — 73
= Thirroul — 73
Just behind:
• Kiama Downs — 61
• Newport — 58
• Queenscliff — 49
What it tells us early:
💥 Caves Beach aren’t just competitive — they’re dominant
🔥 The chase pack is tight (2nd–5th separated by just 4 pts)
⚠️ Kiama Downs slightly off their usual pace — but still right there
And the big trend from 2025 is already showing:
👉 Depth across divisions is deciding results.
Fast crews win races…
Complete clubs win premierships.
This season is wide open.

On behalf of our 85,000 members, Surf Life Saving NSW extends its thoughts and support to our Marine Rescue NSW colleagues after last night’s tragic incident in the line of duty on the Far North Coast.Last night was the darkest night ever experienced by Marine Rescue NSW.
Marine Rescue NSW volunteers answer the call for help 24/7 and last night six members from Marine Rescue Ballina did just that. They launched with a single mission, to save lives on the water and assist a yacht, reported to be in difficulty off the South Ballina break wall.
Tragically, two of our volunteers lost their lives during the response.
Marine Rescue NSW Commissioner Todd Andrews said the devastating loss is a solemn reminder of the risks faced by volunteers who serve their communities.
“These two men were serving their local community and have made the ultimate sacrifice to help others.
“Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with the families and loved ones of the deceased, their fellow crew members, the brave radio operators who handled the difficult communications during the incident, the entire Marine Rescue NSW family and the wider Ballina community during this incredibly difficult time.
“We are supporting our volunteers and their families through professional counselling and chaplaincy support.
“We ask that the privacy of those involved and their families be respected during this difficult time,” Commissioner Andrews said.
