The season is just around the corner
With the football season just around the corner, we thought we would devise a Herons' Reach fantasy football league! This will be a bit of fun throughout the Winter months, and prizes (and more importantly, bragging rights) will be awarded at the end of the season. This is FREE to enter, and there is actually £100,000 first prize for the overall winner. Needless to say, this will not be from ourselves!!
All you need to do is pick 15 players and you have 100 million to spend. You can only pick up to 3 players per team, and there are opportunities to transfer your players every week. Captain and Mr O'Keeffe, only premier league players, so no Blackpool players, not that you would have much to choose from.. Full rules can be found on the website.
If you would like to join Herons' Reach Fantasy football league, then please click here and pick your team, give yourself a name (no rude ones please!) and then the pin code to enter yourselves into our mini league is 1537573-407068. It is called Herons' Reach Golf Resort.
Let's get as many of us as we can into the league, and I will be commenting on the movers and shakers throughout the season. Personally, I don't think my team "Champiohhhnies" can be beaten…!
