Report

Usual Suspects won the Leinster Softball Association 6th Division Final in 1997, after receiving a walkover from Ashton Slammers in the Final. They had compiled a 5-2 Wins-Losses Record during the Regular season (17 Pts) and defeated Findlater Specials 22-7 in the Semi-Finals.

In 1998 the Champions were Loan Homers Moe (7-1, 22 Pts). This was the second and last year of the 6th Division, as four of the five teams were promoted and no teams were demoted.

The Leinster Softball Association 6th Division was one of 8 Divisions in 1997 and 7 in 1998, including a Female Division both years, and a Male Division in 1997. It was a Co-ed League, and Level 6 in the LSA Co-ed League structure.

Report

The Leinster Softball Association ran a Male Division in 1997 as well as a Female Division and six Co-ed Divisions. Seven teams entered but only two matches appear to have been played, involving three teams, so it is unclear if it was finished or whether a Champion was declared. Angels and Marlay Martyrs both had two wins with Marlay the only undefeated team according to the Oddsox website on the Wayback Machine Internet Archive. See references for more details.

Report

After a four month delay to the start of the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus Outbreak, the Softball Leinster Schedule was finally released in July [Ref: 3-4]. A reduced number of teams were able to sign up for a mini-season, with new team Ashbourne Antlers, Deadly Suspects, Homers, Inglorious Batters, Renegade Reapers and Thirsty Camels making up Division 2. [Ref: 2]

Homers won the Division 2 title by 2 Games (6 Points) from Renegade Reappears after defeating the North Dublin team 19-15 on the Final Day of the season in a winner-takes-all match-up. New team Ashbourne Antlers joined the Division in 2020, with a walkover win against Inglorious Batters from Lucan on the Final Day of the season, consigning the Batters to third place. Deadly Suspects and Thirsty Camels finished fourth and fifth respectively.

Report

Fastpitch Softball is a competitive version of Recreational Mixed Softball, or Baseball, and in USA is primarily a Competitive Women’s version of the game, with a Professional League for women: National Pro Fastpitch.

It differs from the Recreational Coed version of the sport in that the pitching is very fast, and does not have to be in a soft arc like in traditional softball.

The Irish Fastpitch Softball League was started in 2019-20 (although it is currently Coed / Mixed – with an even number of Males and Females), after a decade of Softball Ireland’s Fadtpitch Programme, which included the start of the Women’s Ireland National Team.

There were intended to be Playoffs played, but unfortunately due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic, Week 4 (Playoffs) had to be cancelled.

All matches were played at The National Indoor Arena in Blachardstown, Dublin 15, on the Indoor Turf Pitch.
