Report

___________________________________________________________________

 

Regular Season

Defending Champions Dublin City won the regular season dropping only one match to Dublin International at the start of the season. also qualifying for the semi-finals were Dublin International, newcomers Dublin Wings, and Astra, who put up a good new year’s run. [2][3]

Semi-Finals

Dublin City 30 Astra 26: Astra’s good post-new year run ended in the playoffs as time ran out as they closed in on the defending champions, losing in the end by a narrow four-goal margin.[3]

Dublin International 41 Dublin Wings 30: Experience told over youth as the league’s newcomers were no match for Dublin International, who pulled away from a 19-18 halftime lead to win comfortably.[3]

Final

Dublin City 26 Dublin International 28: Dublin International returned to dominance in the IOHA Men’s league after missing out on the Final in 2017. Despite a strong performance from Dublin City, and home-court advantage in DCU, they failed to prevent Dublin International bringing the title back to Phibblestown, where it has an almost permanent place. The final scoreline was extremely close, ending 28-26 in DIHC’s favour.[4]
