Report

Rounders & Softball games were arranged between Lakelands GAA of Stillorgan in Dublin and a team of International Softball Players from America & Japan (undoubtedly from the Leinster Softball League which started up in 1982 involving 3 American Teams, 1 Japanese and 1 Irish).

The first match, played under Softball Rules ended 24-3 to the Internationals, the second game, under Rounders rules was more competitive, with the Internationals winning again 13-5.

Skryne GAA also made a trip to the USA in April, where the boys and girls played Softball matches against local schools – the Skryne boys and girls both winning one mmatch and drawing another. The Brookline coach requested a game of Rounders after their Softball games, which ended 11-all.

Report

The Irish Baseball & Softball Association ran the first Leinster or Eastern Division Softball Championships in 1990. There was a separate League and Knockout Championship, much like in the GAA, with the Championship being the Premier Competition, judging by news reports in the Evening Herald.

Marlay Martyrs won the Championship in 1990 beating Odd Sox 9-5 and again in 1992, defeating Batpak in the Final. Dodder Dynamoes, their arch rivals, and the oldest Softball team in Ireland, won the title in 1991, a 17-8 win over Datalex, and the 1993 title, Batpak again the runners-up.
