Gents League Team

The Gents Team play in the Edinburgh and Lothians Summer League. This is an 8 man team, who play against other clubs from across Edinburgh and the Lothians.

Teams are split into 4 groups of 6, with Home and Away matches against the opposing clubs. This leads to one legged knockout stages with the group winners and runners up.

This year Newbattle are in Group B alongside reigning champions Longniddry, Baberton, Royal Burgess, Craigmillar Park and Merchants of Edinburgh. You can see how the team are getting on by visiting the League website at https://edinburghgolfleague.com/

Ladies Team

The Ladies Team competes in the Midlothian Ladies’ five a side league, which consists of Division 1 and Division 2. All matches are played off scratch.

Newbattle Ladies have always competed in Division 2. However last season we achieved a magnificent result by coming second, therefore gaining promotion to Division 1 for 2025. This will be enormously challenging for the team but hugely valuable in experience to everyone. We are going to relish the opportunity!!!

Fixtures

Opposition	Date	H/A	Result	Score
Kingsknowe	24/04/25	Home	Lost	4 – 1
Baberton	21/05/25	Home	Lost	3.5 – 1.5
Comiston	26/05/25	Away	Lost	4 – 1
Murrayfield	01/06/25	Away	Lost	4.5 – 0.5

Turnhouse	31/07/25	Away	Lost	3.5 – 1.5
Liberton	05/08/25	Away	WON	3-2

24/04/25. 1st game loss to Kingsknowe, 4-1, but 3 games did go down to the 18th, so the result not as bad as it sounds

21/05/25. Another 3 games going to 18 in this one, but we unfortunately lost out. Though Baberton are current interclub champions so was always going to be tough

26/05/25. Another tough challenge away from home, with 3 of our team having never played the Braids before.
01/06/25. We always knew that this was going to be a tough season and so it continued to be, with us managing a half point to avoid a whitewash
11/06/25. Another huge challenge, and another consolation point. With 2 tricky away matches to come – our goal is to avoid any whitewashes in this very challenging season

31/07/25. A very good result this one, as every single player from the Turnhouse team had a lower handicap, so picking up 1.5 points away from home was a great achievement

05/08/25. What a way to finish the season. Our first victory – and AWAY from home. The season will end in relegation but that result was a sweet finish and we have gained so much experience this year in division 1.
