Report

Galway Softball Club, founded in 1998 and one of the oldest Softball teams in Ireland, has after 23 years, and thanks to generous sponsors, managed to field enough teams to form the first Galway Softball League in history. While there was a Cadet Baseball League back in 1970, this is the very first time since Softball Ireland was founded as the Irish Softball Association in 1989 that such a sanctioned league has taken place in Galway or West of the Shannon River. The four teams are An Púcán Base Invaders; Kenny’s Bookshop Hardbacks; Irishscores Hit Squad and Megadale Aqua Blasters.
