Well done Finn Harps on your promotion to the Big League :D
Commiserations to Limerick, it wasn't from lack of effort in the last 12 games, fair play for the fight back but the last hurdle was a step too far, straight back up I hope next year

Congratulation to the Harps. Well deserved play-off win.
That's debatable anyway.Quote:

Congrats to Harps on a deserved win and promotion, commiserations to Limerick on falling short at the last hurdle after nearly the greatest escape there would have been. Plenty of potential in both clubs to push on whether promoted or relegated and hopefully both do just that.
Thought this suited in here:

Harps season in numbers.
Includes this incredible statistic:
10,382 – The Finn Harps team bus will have clocked up a staggering 10,382 kilometres in traveling from Navenny Street in Ballybofey to the various venues at which Ollie Horgan’s men played in 2015
Reminds me of a comment I saw on twitter from a Shels fan, something along the lines of "traveled over 900 miles for nothing". I thought that was funny as a single trip to Derry and back was about 1,000 km for me.Quote:

Don't think it'll come near 10,000 again. That included twice away to Wexford, Waterford, Cork and closest away trips to Dublin and Athlone.Quote:

The fact we'll have more local derbies this year cuts down significantly on away trips.
Besides, that 900 mile quip is quite laughable. I made a 530 mile round trip just to home games. Must actually calculate how much travel I done myself this season. This petrol isn't cheap after all..
Well done Harps. I say it begrudgingly as I now can't kill two birds with the one stone. My in-laws are in Limerick and so I could at least get a visit out of the way as well as see Dundalk play.
Tell them if they loved you they would move to Donegal.
