An Inverell junior golfer has combined with golfers from Tamworth, Armidale and Gunnedah to claim the matchplay event at the 2026 Regional Academy Games at the Longyard Golf Course at Tamworth.
Representing Northern Inland Academy of Sport in Division 3, James Davis and the team kicked things off with a strong win over Southwest Sydney Academy, earning them a spot in the final against North Coast Academy.
The final saw the team sinking the shots that mattered most to secure the win.
James’ father Ben says it was an outstanding team performance all round, with the boys consistently backing each other and stepping up under pressure when it counted.
