Champions!
We did it! For the third year in a row, the Rutherford Irish are the Shamrock Softball Tournament Champions!
After competitive first round matchups, the RIAA defeated the Ironbound Irish and the Nutley Irish topped the Friendly Sons of the Shillelagh to make it to the Championship. Ultimately, the home team kept the trophy right here in Rutherford.
Thank you to all of the organizations who participated and celebrated our culture together. It was a great day to be Irish!
As part of the annual charity component to this tournament, all organizations donate funds to the host team who then are able to pay it forward to groups in their community who are in need. The RIAA is very proud to have donated $1,000 each to Top Dawgs and the Rutherford Veterans Alliance. We are grateful for all they do in our town and know these funds will make a real impact.
