Report

Mariners B won the B League Final 10-8 in the third game of a Best of 3 Series against Belfast North Stars. North Stars had taken it to a third game, by winning the second game 10-9, after a convincing 14-4 Mariners B win in the first game.

Both Semi-Finals had also gone to three games, with Belfast North Stars defeating Belfast Buccaneers, and Mariners B beating Dublin City Hurricanes B.

The North Stars and Mariners B were the best teams all season, convincing winners of their respective divisions with 15 wins each. The race for second place in each Division, and therefore the other playoff places was close, with Dublin City Hurricanes B and Belfast Buccaneers just edging Ashbourne Giants U21 and Ashbourne Stags respectively, with Dublin Spartans B and Cavan Comets bringing up the rear.

Report

The 2012 A League featured the same 6 teams as the previous season. The Dublin City Hurricanes dominated the Regular Season winning 13 games and only losing 2, with the Munster Warriors and Dublin Spartans finishing on 9-6. Joining them in the Playoffs were the Dublin Black Sox, who finished 7-8.

The Dublin City Hurricanes won through to the A League final in their Playoff match with the Munster Warriors, and the Spartans beat both the BlackSox and Warriors on their way to yet another Final.

The best-of-3 Final looked like it was going the Hurricanes way after a comfortable win in the first match, but the Spartans leveled the series the next day, and took the decider the following weekend 9-1.

Dublin City Hurricanes: A-League Champions 2017[6]

Dublin City Hurricanes won their third crown in a row with a two-game sweep of the Greystones Mariners in the Final.[7]

Final (Best-of-3):

Dublin City Hurricanes 10 Greystones Mariners 2

Greystones Mariners 5 Dublin City Hurricanes 7

Game 1: Pitcher Roberto Marquez changed his game, throwing batters off with his curveball, change-up and strategic fastball. Combined with solid defensive play and hits stread throughout the order it was enough to give the Hurricanes the win in the first game.[7]

Game 2: Dublin City took an early lead through the hitting of Kelvin Almsanazar and Marquez. Starting Pitcher for the second game, William Pena, had success until the late innings, when, with Greystones five runs behind, they sparked a ninth-inning rally. Mariners Liam Shier hit a fly-ball way out to left-field which could have been a game-changer, but a diving catch by Jose Martinez got the first out of the innings. Still, the Mariners got three big hits from Dan Viola, Mark Treacy and Leo Farrell, which left the game in the balance. Tommy Hernandez stepped up to the plate for what would have been the Mariners’ winning run, except for Pena’s curveball, which got the final out, and gave the ‘Canes victory for the third year in succession.[7]
