Log-in to www.pickawinner.ie
  • VEC’s Pick-A-Winner (PAW) Competition commenced on 7th March 2020 but with the Premier Division Fixtures suspended soon after due to Covid-19, so too PAW had to be put on hold!
  • So it will resume on the weekend of June 19/20/21 with Round 2 and will continue until Round 10 at the end of the season.
  • Of the 69 who entered, 28 have submitted their selections. The remaining 41 players should do so before 12 noon on Friday 19th June. Good luck!

If you have any comments or questions, please contact VEC FC at sec@vecfc.ie or info@pickawinner.ie
