To coincide with the start of the National Football League Allianz have set up a competition to predict the winning team and margin of victory in all games of the league. The better you are at predicting the draw/winners correctly and the closer you get to the margin of victory the more points you earn. The person with the highest points total at the end of the league wins €500 for themselves and €2500 for their nominated club. We would ask as many of our supporters to enter and test their knowledge and luck in predicting the winners. This competition is free to enter and can be accessed at www.allianzleaguespredictions.ie. We are organizing a mini league for our own supporters to run in tandem with this competition. €10 is the entry fee and can be paid to Keith Mulvaney. The club supporter with the highest points total at the end of our mini league wins a cash prize. So please test your knowledge, skill or luck and support the club at the same time.
