In total over the last Month or so, there has been 50 Finals across all Classes of the Ladies, Mens and Mixed Leagues and Cups Competitions.
In all cases, whether in Whitehall Road or The Baldoyle Badminton Centre, the Matches played were of excellent standard, keenly fought and a great atmosphere created by competing teams and traveling supporters.
From the initial 322 Teams from 75 Clubs competing reaching those 50 Finals were 34 different Teams representing 36 different Badminton Clubs from Dublin and surrounding Districts. On reviewing the overall performance of Clubs across different Teams and Classes, the "Title" of most successful Club this season goes to Mount Pleasant. Mount Pleasant were Winners in 7 events and R-Up in 4, followed by Old School, 5 Winners and 3 R-Up, and Nomads with 3 Winners and 9 R-Up Trophies.
However, the most successful Team this Season was Old School 1 in the Class 1 Division. Between their Mens and Ladies teams, which also makes up the complete Mixed Team, they reached all 6 Finals in Class 1 of the Leagues and Cup Events. They won 5 of these Finals and only lost to Nomads 1 in the Mens Cup by (and they dont like to be reminded) ONE point. As far as we are aware this has never been equaled before in the Leagues and Cups and it is remarkable achievement.
The lead photo above is the Old School 1 Mixed Team with our President Breda Connolly . The team is : Donal Mangan, Ronan Walsh, Shane McDonald, Patrick Symth, Lindsey Taaffe, Karen Cinnamond, and Terri McCann.

So until next Season, when thankfully all these successful 34 Teams go up at least one Class, we look forward to all Clubs and Teams competing once more in the Dublin & District Leagues and Cups Competitions.
