Hi folks,

The Premier League is back next week and we're delighted to announce that Eire Óg have decided to create a paid Fantasy Football league that members and their friends are welcome to join.

The first step is to register your Fantasy Football team at the following website:

https://fantasy.premierleague.com/

Many people will already have teams so it’ll just be a matter of joining our league. But for those folks new to Fantasy Football, there is nothing to fear as detailed instructions on how to register, build your team and join our league will be emailed with receipt for payment.

Entry is €25 and can be paid at the following link via the club shop:

Eire Óg Inis | Choose Product (eireoginis.ie)

The receipt for payment will also include a code to allow you to join our league.

Aside from banter amongst members and their friends, this is also a club fundraising activity and so 50% of total entry fees will go toward prizes with the remaining 50% going toward the development of our club. Prizes will therefore be announced after the closing date for entry. There will be overall prizes but also monthly prizes to keep players interested throughout the season regardless of overall standing. Updated standings will be emailed monthly to all participants throughout the season.

The Premier League restarts on Friday, 5th August so the closing date and time for entry is 6.30pm on Friday, 5th August. Those interested in playing are advised to make payment and join the league well in advance of this deadline. Those in the league after the deadline will be cross checked against those who have made payment via the club shop.

Fantasy Football is great fun particularly when competing with friends and club mates. Feel free to spread the word to friends and family alike. All are welcome to join our league and the more the merrier to make it a successful fundraising endeavour for our club.

We hope that whether you’re a seasoned Fantasy Football pro or novice, you’ll consider entering and spreading the word far and wide to keep us all busy tinkering with our teams over the cold winter months.

C’mon the Townies!
