Finn Harps Cash League (and other worthy fundraising leagues)

FHFC · 19-08-2020 11:25pm #1

Hi folks.

Back for the annual plug for this. For those not familiar I used to be a regular round here, and have been running this fundraising league for many years, it's now in its 8th season overall.

50% of entries go to the prize pot and with the volume of entries that still left a €3,180 prize fund last year with the winner taking home €1,100.

See here for entry details....https://www.finnharps.ie/post/fpl

Any queries drop me a PM.

There are other good fundraising league for LOI and other clubs, as well as charities if anyone else wants to post them here.

Cue BohsFPL post in three, two.....one....

Don’t think they are running the Bohs one this year going by the season wrap email they sent.

I believe there may be a new admin taking up the torch.

Yous dont need the money any more, might as well have a year off! And send all your entrants to us!

Conn Rangers is my local soccer club in Mayo. They do a smaller scale version of these.

Smaller scale = greater chance of winning!

Anyone that wants to join just DM me and I can take care of entry. If anyone does win any of the monthly prizes that don’t suit due to location I’ll sort out something re a cash equivalent

Hey Folks,

I have set up a league for my local branch Down Syndrome Limerick which are close to me and my families heart.

Its our first year running so hopefully when can get a decent amount of entries.

Entries are through the Idonate website for 10 euro and we are in the process of sourcing what we hope will be very interesting prizes.

Would really appreciate if any of you guys could spare a tenner for a great charity and win a prize at the end.

League code is available on the page also

Congratulations to Scorpion Sting who won the inaugural Down Syndrome Limerick fantasy football fundraiser league.

The prize has been sent out.

Down Syndrome Limerick would like to thank everyone who entered the league and supported us this year.

League will return in August.

Jim Gazebo · 27-05-2021 12:00pm

Just a query regarding the fundraising cash leagues, is there a cutoff regarding cash prize or any legal catchments with running one of these? Exploring it as a fundraising option. Could you run into trouble if the cash prize becomes large say? Thanks in advance.

kilburn · 27-05-2021 12:14pm

From the perspective of the DSL league people were invited to join a league and make a â‚¬10 donation through idonate website.

Ultimately it's a fundraiser for charity and the donations go to the charity and not a prize fund.

Each organisation would then decide on an appropriate prize.

We raised 220 euro I think in total and were donated the prize which was a â‚¬100 euro egift card for any store decided by the winner.

So for anyone who is still here after they wrecked the site.....we're back!

Full launch tomorrow but Harps fundraising cash league returns. €3180 prize fund last year with €1,150 to winner.

FHFC · 10-08-2021 10:34pm

Wee reminder. Past 250 entries way earlier than usual. Prize fund set to be well in excess of €3k and probably close to €4k.

For anyone not familiar this is a fundraising league, running for its 9th season. €20 entry. 50% to prize fund.

Has a sizeable entry from the club fanbase which keeps the prize fund very healthy.

Hi Folks, some research questions if you dont mind

I am going to set up the 10 Euro Down Syndrome Limerick fundraising league again this year but just wanted to get some feedback on some ideas we have.

Shoutout again to our very Scorpion Sting was last years winner.

Prize fund is not massive and as its a charity gig we are giving a bit of flexibility around what we would normally do with hard deadlines.

Option 1 is to just set the league up and accept entrants until 1 September

Option 2 is to start league after international break with points only counted from GW4

Finally for both of above do people prefer a H2H or classic league.

An absolutely staggering response this season.

We now have more than 400 entries and €4,000 in the prize pool. With 6 hours to deadline entries are still flowing in.

FHFC · 13-08-2021 10:57pm

We've ended up on around 470 entries. Stunned. I wasn't daring to dream of 400 yesterday morning.

Thanks to all who entered. Update email will be out tomorrow sometime.

That's absolutely fantastic going and a great cash boost for Harps.Well done.

FHFC · 07-07-2022 10:40pm

Harps League is back for our 10th season.

THE number one cash league in Irish football raising funds for the coolest club.

For anyone not familiar it's €20 entry with 50% to prize fund and full of casuals! :)

As above we had 470 entries last year giving away €4700 including €1,250 for the Champion, places down to 12th, two Cups and couple of other bonus prizes.

Entry has just opened at https://fhfcshop.ie/Finn-Harps-Fantasy-Football-Private-Members-League-2022-23-p378497970

Boardsies are officially the first to know!

The Harps league is absolutely flying this year, with nearly 300 signed up already, nearly double where we were at this point last season.

I'm doing a wee like&share on Twitter comp for a couple of free entries. Will be drawing winner tomorrow so move fast!

Folks the interest in the Finn Harps FPL league this year is incredible. We've passed 500 entries already and will probably end up with a prize pot close to €6,000.

I'm going to add on a H2H league with prizes included with the entry.

It's a late addition due to the big spike in the pot. I'm gonna finalise details when I've closed off the classic and confirmed prizes, then start the H2H from GW2.

FHFC · 10-08-2023 12:02am

Hi all.

Almost forgot to invite you good folk to join the 11th season of the Finn Harps Cash League. Laid up with a broken leg so a bit slow off the mark this year.

We smashed all records last season with 670 managers and €6,700 in the pot shared by 30 different winners. Top spot €1,500 and prizes down to 15th overall. Parallel H2H league, 2 cups, MOTMs and more.

Entries over 500 already this year, ahead of same time last year!!

Full details, including full prize breakdown from 22/23 at www.finnharps.ie/FPL

DM any Qs.

Please share that link far and wide to your FPL chats etc and retweets for @finnharpsFPL tweets also appreciated.

Thanks
