National Championships Playoffs
The National Championship Playoffs
Following consultation with the team managers at the 2010 Captain's meeting, Softball Ireland is delighted to announce The National Championship Playoffs.
The winners of each regional league (Leinster, Munster, and Ulster) will compete in a playoff tournament at the end of the season, with the winners being crowned National Champions and earning the opportunity to represent Ireland in the European Club Cup in 2011.
The National Championship Playoffs is a tremendous step forward for softball in Ireland and acknowledges the growth and development of softball throughout the country.
Until now it has been the winners of the Leinster League that has represented Ireland in the European Cup (with Dodder Dynamoes competing as defending European Champions and Batpak as Leinster League Champions this season in Ljubljana, Slovenia in August).
The SI Byelaws have been updated to reflect the set up and management of the new playoff tournament. A copy of the Byelaws can be viewed by clicking here.
