Report

The first Badminton Premier League season in Ireland was in 2015-16, with separate Ladies, Men’s and Mixed Leagues. It was the first League of its kind in Ireland that aimed to be greater than a Local, County or District League, and soon attracted the best players from all over Ireland. For the second season in 2016-17 the League featured just the one section, with each fixture having Ladies, Men’s and Mixed Singles and Doubles Matches.

The League was won in 2016-17 by KADCA Killers, based in the Baldoyle Badminton Centre, who defeated South Dublin Spartans from the Terenure Badminton Centre, in Whitehall Road, 6-3 in the Final.

South Dublin Spartans again lost out in the 2017-18 Final, 5-4 to the Pembroke Panthers, also based in Terenure Badminton Centre.

Ailesbury Falcons won the BPL title for first time in the 2018-19 season, which featured two new teams: The Racket Raptors, representing the Munster/Connacht Region and Dynamite 21, a Leinster Region Under 21 team [Reference: 10-11]. These two teams replaced KADCA Killers.

Dynamite 21 did not return for season 5 in 2019-20, and the season was cut short by the COVID-19 virus Pandemic, and any of the four established teams (Ailesbury, Pembroke, Mount Pleasant and South Dublin) could have reached the Final on the Final days play.

Badminton has been played in Ireland for over a hundred years with the Irish Open the second oldest tournament in the World.

Badminton Leagues are played on a county or regional basis throughout the island, and in 2015 the Badminton Premier League was set up in attempt to create an Elite League featuring the top club players from all over Ireland.

All of the teams are based in Dublin, with the exception of Racket Raptors, representing the Munster/Connacht region, and Dynamite 21, representing a Leinster Under 21 selecton, with each fixture featuring Ladies, Men’s and Mixed Matches.

Report

Two new teams were added to the Badminton Premier League in Ireland for season four in 2018-19: Racket Raptors from the Munster/Connacht Region [Reference: 12], and Dynamite 21, an Under 21 team from the Leinster Region [Reference: 11], bringing in teams from outside Dublin for the first time.

It was a steep learning curve for Dynamite 21, but learn they did, after losing the first fixture 9-0 to the other newcomers The Raptors, they succeeded in taking four matches against Pembroke Panthers and two off Ailesbury Falcons, the eventual Champions, and both well established teams from Dublin.

The Ailesbury Falcons finished runners-up to Mount Pleasant Mavericks in the League stage, with South Dublin Spartans finishing third, Racket Raptors fourth and Pembroke Panthers fifth.

The final was a close affair, with Ailesbury taking home the trophy after coming back from 4-2 down to win 5-4.

Report

After four of five rounds of the 2019-20 Badminton Premier League season in Ireland, the League was cancelled due presumably to the COVID-19 virus pandemic, although no information as regards the status after February 25th is available on either the league website or facebook page.

Ailesbury Falcons were leading on 20 Points, although they had completed their fixtures, with South Dublin Spartans on 15 Points and Mount Pleasant Mavericks & Pembroke Panthers both on 14 Points, so any of the teams could have made the Final. The only team likely to be out of the running (barring a miracle on the Final Day) were The Raptors.
