Report
Greystones Mariners were founded as a Little League Team in 1991 in the small Co. Wicklow town, graduating to the Irish Baseball League (Adult) 10 years later where they posted a winning 12-6 record in their third year in 2004, qualifying for the Playoff Final, and the following year going 8-0 to win the 1st Half Pennant only to finish the Championship 2nd Half 1-5.
They qualified for the playoff each of the next five years (2006-2010) before a slump set in, finishing with losing records from 2011 to 2013. 2014 was another losing year until a remarkable run towards the end of the season saw them climb from bottom to reach the playoffs in fourth place where they proceeded to defeat Belfast North Stars, Dublin Spartans and the Dublin City Hurricanes in the playoffs, sweeping the Hurricanes 2-0 in a shock result. They were finalists each of the next five years before again taking the A League Championship 2 games to 1 versus Ashbourne Giants in 2020.
