The 2015 National League season was launched officially at Croke Park this afternoon – with Seamus O’Shea amongst those doing the honours at today’s event – so it’s definitely time to get the ball rolling on this year’s NFL prediction mini-league. Here are the details for joining this year’s competition:

Go to the Allianz League Predictions website (here), log in or register and then join the “Allianz Football League Competition”, a link to which is on the left-hand side of the page. Once you’ve done that and have entered the competition, you’ll arrive at the Week 1 predictions page, which has a load of links on the left-hand side. Click the one that says “Join Football Mini League” and then enter the code j3eCSN4LLOSo when prompted to do so.

As the mini-league is once more being backed by League sponsors Allianz (with all the under-the-bonnet magic being done by Face the Ball), there’ll be plenty of chances to win cash both for yourself and your club of choice (when you register you have to link yourself with a club). Last year I got within a heartbeat of bagging a wad of cash for Vinnies until my Devon Loch impersonation sent the dosh heading to Garrymore instead. This year, it could be one of you that’ll scoop the prize for your club.

Best of luck to all who take part in this year’s competition. The deadline for entering your Week 1 predictions is this Saturday at 7pm.
