The Irish Dodgeball Association Irish Dodgeball League 2026 came to a thrilling conclusion this past Saturday, in beautiful Moate. It was a truly magical day for the club as our primary team (The Good, The Bad And The Buzzball) came second in the league overall & our not quite so primary team (AC⚡️WDC) came in fifth.
A silver medal was the clubs best ever result in the league, which we were really proud of. But what we’re more proud of is that we consistently fielded 2 strong teams this year, where every single player had a special moment on court. All while embodying the WDC ethos of integritas, fortitudo et chaos.
Way back in January, we decided this was going to be a different campaign. We looked ourselves in the mirror, did some deep soul searching (those few of us who have souls) and thought to ourselves while taking a sip of a delicious berry cherry limeade Buzzball …. “Are we repping the South hard enough????”The answer was an emphatic no. We had the capacity to do SO much more.
All it needed was a little more training. & belief. But mostly more training. Incorporating things such as warm ups, training drills and tactics (vomits profusely). Did the WDC officially sell out this year? Did we grow up, cut our hair, put on a Gr***de sponsored suit and get a proper job? Is this what maturity is like?
Joking aside, this was a culmination of a lot of hard work over the campaign. Across the board, everyone has upped their level this year. We pushed each other hard at every single training session and new leaders emerged, on and off the court.
Thanks again to the Irish Dodgeball Association,Tamas, Dublin Dodgeball (who were deserving champions), Galway Dodgeball Club & Westmeath Dodgeball Club for making it another truly enjoyable campaign.
