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. There was a Plate Competition for teams knocked out in the First Round.

Dodder Dynamoes won the Plate in 1990 after being knocked out of the Championship early in a shock result. The 1991 Plate Final was won by Wetsox and Oddsox Green won the title in 1992.
