This competition should most certainly appeal to at least a few of you. As far as we are aware, we are the only club in the country running such a GAA competition, some of you might be familiar the concept from soccer clubs and bookies running it on the premiership. We ran it last year on a small scale and it was a success. This year we are opening it up to all, the more that enter the higher the prize fund.

What is it?
We have taken Divisions 1 and 3 of the league, this gives eight matches each weekend. From this round of fixtures you must pick a winning team. If your team wins you go through to the next round, if they don't you are out. Each week you need to keep picking a winner to stay in. A very important rule though is that once you pick a team once you can't pick them again! Each week entrants drop off until there is a winner(s)

It only costs €10 to enter, this is paid at the start (you pay only once at the start, not each week). You can pay online using laser or credit card through the website. You can enter more than once if you wish!

Full details, rules, fixtures etc. can be found on the link below

So Lads and Lassies which of you fancy that you are good enough to win it and stand to the end??

Ah sure memories of 03, 05 and 08 are a mighty antidote to the division 2 blues Mike ;)

Those years don't hold any significance really to me. Have 37 other great years to think about  ;)
