Harps returned to the top flight at the first attempt in 2018 thanks to the play-off win over Limerick.

Heading into a ten-team Premier Division for the first time, Harps face a big task to stay up.

The club held a public meeting last night and it was a well-attended event at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Letterkenny.

Kathy outlined a number of fundraising ventures to Charlie Collins.
