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.
