Kerry’s biggest fantasy league is back

Published

on

Fantasy football is back and bigger than ever. We are delighted to confirm that starting this weekend we will once again be hosting our popular Fantasy Premier League competition with some brilliant prizes up for grabs.

Last season over 1,200 players took part in the free-to-enter Killarney Advertiser League, making it the largest fantasy football league in Kerry.

This year’s tournament will be sponsored by The Caddyshack.

As always the league has simply been renewed from last year, so for last season’s participants all you need to do is visit the Fantasy Premier League website or app and pick your team. You will then be automatically re-entered into the Killarney Advertiser League for the coming campaign.

If this is your first time joining the league, you can sign up by going to ‘Create and join new leagues’ and entering the following code:

Each month, a food, drinks and mini-golf voucher for The Caddyshack worth €50 will be awarded to the highest-scoring manager.

The overall winner next May will collect a very special grand prize worth €250.

“We are delighted to be on board,” said Caddyshack owner Philip O’Connor. “We look forward to welcoming some top FPL managers to the Caddyshack over the course of the season, and we have something special lined up for the grand prize as well.”

Would-be fantasy champions are no doubt fretting over their teams ahead of the new season, which kicks off on Friday evening. With £100 million to spend on 15 players from 20 squads, the possibilities are endless.

The deadline for Gameweek 1 is Friday at 6.30pm.

If you miss the deadline, don’t worry. The Killarney Advertiser League will remain open to entries for the first few of weeks of the season.

Killarney teenager Luke Doolan has signed for Kerry FC, making the move from local side Killarney Athletic.

The 17-year-old forward was a standout performer in the Kerry District League last season and caught the eye with five goals in the Munster Youths Cup.
He also featured for Athletic’s senior team and earned a call-up to the Republic of Ireland Under-18 squad, where he impressed in international friendlies.
Doolan will now train with the Kerry FC first team and play with the club’s Under 20 Academy side. His signing is another boost for the club’s commitment to developing local talent.
Speaking after the move, Luke said: “I’m delighted to have this chance with Kerry FC and I’m looking forward to working with the team. I’m grateful to Colin Healy for the opportunity and I’m excited to play in front of the Kerry supporters.”
First-team manager Colin Healy added: “Luke has trained with us for the last number of weeks and has really impressed. He’s shown a great attitude and hunger to learn. He’s a talented young player and this is the next step for him.”
Kerry FC CEO Billy Dennehy said: “Luke’s journey is similar to many young players who previously had no League of Ireland pathway in Kerry. His progress is a credit to Killarney Athletic and his coaches. We look forward to helping him develop further at the club.”
