From then on the tournament was held every two years, with each country entering the winners of the two previous National Championships. The much increased attendance proved difficult for Irish teams as Kiely’s Kegs finished 6th out of 12 in 2014, with a 3-8 record.[6][7]

The tournament was held in Austria in 2016, and TNT (6-7) and Oddsox (5-8) finished 10th and 11th respectively out of a field of 14.[8][9]

The most recent tournament was held in 2018 in Riccione, Italy. TNT put in the best performance by an Irish team since the move to a bi-annual tournament by qualifying for the Top Group and finishing 6th out of 16 with a 6 Wins 8 Losses record. Dodder Dynamoes were again Ireland’s other representatives and posted a very creditable 8-6 record while finishing 11th. [10][11]

The European Softball Federation organised the first Coed Slowpitch European Cup in 2007. From 2007-2012 it was held every year and from 2012-present it has been held every two years, with the two previous National Champions now entering each tournament as well as the holders of the European Super Cup.

The Irish representatives are the winners of the Softball Ireland National Club Championship – the annual tournament between the winners of Ireland’s Provincial Leagues – now Leinster (East) and Ulster (North) and once including Munster (South).

In 2007, the first year of the European Cup, Dodder Dynamoes, representing Ireland finished 2nd only losing to London Chromies 10-3 in the Final.

In 2008 Dodder Dynamoes again reached the Final, losing 16-11 to Baker Tomkins, another British team.

Dodder finally won the title at the third attempt in 2009, and in 2010 they again finished second with Batpak, also from Ireland in third.

Limerick finished a very creditable second in 2011, posting an 8-6 Wins-Losses Record, losing out to London’s Chromies [2][3].

In 2012, Dodder Dynamoes finished 6th out of an increased field of 8, posting a 3-5 record, with Lisicke of Slovakia taking advantage of the tournament being played in neighbouring Czech Republic to win the tournament. [4][5]

Olympic Handball, also known as Team Handball, or European Handball, is a team sport invented in Northern Europe around the early 1900s. It is similar to Water Polo, whereby players try to throw a ball with their hands into a goal at either end. It is played indoors on the same court as a Futsal court, with the same markings.

Players aren’t allowed run with the ball but on receiving it have to pass it to a team-mate. The goal is to get into a semi-circle around the opposing team’s goal where the attacking player can make a shot.

Dublin International, based in Blanchardstown, won the double in 2011-2012, defeating surprise team DCU in the Final after winning the League, but were shocked the following season, 35-31, in the Final by Ballinteer’s Astra.

Astra would win the League in 2013-2014, but Dublin International would win the Final, repeating as winners the next year, 37-31 over UCD, after Astra had won the League only to be shocked by UCD in the Semi-Finals.

The 2015-16 season would see Dublin International win the double, again defeating UCD in the Final, on a scoreline of 27-21. Dublin City Handball would finally get their hands on the Trophy in 2016-17, winning the double by beating Astra 26-18 in the Final. After winning the League again in 2017-18, Dublin City would fall short in the Final, losing 28-26 to Dublin International, the old guard winning back the Trophy they had won every second year since 2012.
