Unbeaten Northern Senior League Division Two champions Hardwicke end season on a high
Author: Roger Jackson, Posted: Wednesday, 13th May 2026, 09:00
Leading goalscorer Alex Stratford scored a second-half hat-trick as Hardwicke ended an excellent season in fine style.
They beat Lydbrook Athletic 3-1 at home which meant they went through the Northern Senior League Division Two campaign unbeaten.
They won 25 of their 28 games and finished eight points clear of second-placed Smiths Barometrics.
“It’s a massive achievement,” said chairman Michael Addle. “We’re really pleased.”
Hardwicke had suffered back-to-back relegations before the current campaign but new boss Jack Twyman and his assistants Lee Chivers and Eddie Rimmer have turned things around.
And Addle is optimistic about their prospects in Division One next season.
“We’ve got to be respectful but the aim is to try to do it again,” he said. “Given the way we’ve played this season I think we’ll be challenging.
“The goal is the County League. That’s where we think we should be and it's where we want to be.”
Meanwhile, Stonehouse Town's hopes of winning the GFA Challenge Trophy ended last night when they were beaten 4-0 in the final by Roman Glass St George at Almondsbury.
