Season: 2009

Belfast Softball Club

Belfast Softball Club was founded in 2007 with two teams, the Smokin’ Aces and the Brawlers. The Softball Ulster league was set up in 2008, and both teams have played in the league every year since, winning the league title on 11 occasions in total, including 9 of the last 11 seasons.

In 2022 Belfast Softball Club launced a third team, the Cyclones. With a mixture of experienced and new players the Cyclones won the SU League Division B in their first season.

Softball is an adult mixed sport similar to baseball or rounders. It is an outdoor sport, and is a good way to meet new people and have a bit of fun. If you’re interested in having a go, come along to one of our training sessions at our new home in Victoria Park, off the Sydenham Bypass, on Monday and Wednesday at 6:30pm, from April to September.

As well as the SU league, Belfast Softball Club also play in many tournaments throughout the season, in Belfast and throughout Ireland.

Belfast Aviators

Belfast Aviators Softball Club was formed in July 2008. Training takes place on Sundays 2pm – 4pm and Wednesdays (April to August) 7pm – 9pm. The Aviators mission is to offer softball to the local community for all men and women aged 18 and over. Belfast Aviators Softball Club promotes slow pitch softball in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The teams are comprised of players living in and around Belfast that hail from Northern Ireland and all over the world!

Smokin’ Aces

The Smokin’ Aces are one of the three teams in Belfast Softball Club, along with the Brawlers & Cyclones. Founded in 2007 the Smokin’ Aces were one of the original clubs in Softball Ulster. After winning the league in 2008 and 2010, the Smokin’ Aces have gone through several seasons of restructuring, bringing in many new players.

The Aces have been working to get back into contention to challenge for the league again. The current Aces are a fun-loving and enthusiastic bunch.  After a fight to avoid relegation in 2023, the Aces are looking to put forward a strong performance to show they belong in Division A. The Aces practice with the Brawlers & Cyclones on Mondays and Wednesdays at 6:30 pm at Victoria Park, new members are always welcome.
