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.
