Seniors Order of Merit
The Seniors OoM for 2026 has been won by Warrington's Guy Hindle. In a closely fought battle with Gareth Bradley, it came down to the final counting event at Pleasington, the Trevor Foster Memorial. Gareth needed to outscore Guy by 6 points or more but was unable to do so. Well done Guy!
