Softball Ireland Business House League Standings 2006 [Ref: 1]

Report

After the Softball Boom of the 1990s when there were over 60 Softball teams in the Leinster League, including many from Computer Technology businesses, Softball Ireland created a separate Business House League in the 2000s.

In 2006 The League included six teams, some clearly taking it seriously, such as Seagate Supersonics, another Computer firm, and others just having a bit of fun: “Sarah’s test team 2 for 2007 stuff” and Bat-Man. Also included in the team Line-Up were Top Team, MOP and Southsliders.
