Report

While the Women’s Slowpitch League took a break for 2000, the Leinster Softball Association replaced it as the Weekend League with the Gemstorm-sponsored Co-Ed Winter League, which ran for three seasons. The 1999-2000 Winter League was a close race after 2 of 5 rounds with Cougars, Lions and Cheetahs all posting 3-1 Wins-Losses Records. Panthers, Leopards and Pumas all had one win each, with Pumas forfeiting their Week 2 matches.

Report

Marlay Martyrs’ Female Team, the M&Ms again won the Leinster Softball Association Ladies League in 1999, although this time they were pushed all the way by new team Easyriders, who finished just one win, and three points behind the M&Ms.

Easyriders became the second ever team to beat the team from Marlay Park in Rathfarnham when defeating them 10-4 on the last round of play, although by then the M&Ms had wrapped up the title. It was a loss to Brazen Hussies (who in 1997 were the only other team to ever win against the M&Ms), by the narrowest of margins (10-9) which in the end cost the Easyriders a share of first place. Brazen Hussies finished in mid-table with five wins from 10.

The Eadyriders were among a trio of teams who replaced the Oddsox Nonads, Foxy Sluggers and AIB Loan Homers Lisa from 1998 – the other two new teams were Dolly Birds (5-5, 35 Points), and Firebirds (1-8, 1 Forfeit, 21 Points). She Devils were the other team to return from the previous year, finishing 2-8 (22 Points).

Leinster Softball Association Female Division Regular Season Results 1997

Report

Marlay Martyrs and Brazen Hussies met in the first Final of the Leinster Softball Association Female League in 1997, having had only Co-ed Leagues prior to that. The two teams had finished top of the six-team League with identical 9-1 Wins-Losses records, and after winning one game each against each other during the season it was no surprise that the Final was also close, with Brazen Hussies coming out on top 18-16.

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.
