Members’ Subscriptions

Members are reminded that subscriptions for the current year became due and payable immediately following the Club’s AGM last October. All GAA Registrations were submitted on 1st April as per regulation, and any member whose membership was unpaid on that date was not included in this Registration as per Club policy.

The consequences of this are that unregistered players are no longer insured to play or train and do so at their own risk. In addition, teams playing unregistered players could be adjudged an illegal team and suffer the loss of points and even elimination from competitions.

Members’ subs can be paid in the bar on Wednesday nights between 6.30pm and 9pm and again on Saturday mornings from 9am to 11am. Payments by card, cheque and cash will be accepted. Subscriptions can also be paid at the club office, Mon to Fri, 9am to 1pm.

Na Fianna Golf Society’s next outing will be to Luttrellstown on Monday 16th June. Tee time reserved from 2.30-4pm, new members always welcome, please contact Ciaran Gray for timesheet 0872269133.

School Holidays

With the post-primary school holidays just begun, Parents and Guardians are reminded that Na Fianna does not purport to offer supervision to children who are on the club premises or grounds outside of training or match times. In addition, Juveniles are asked not to bring non- members into the club grounds. This notice is also printed on membership form. Parents should also note that children should not under any circumstances enter the club buildings during the day as the premises are unoccupied and unsupervised. Membership card access to club facilities is being monitored and any obvious pattern of mis-use will result in access services to individual membership cards being withdrawn.

2007 Boys Finally On the Road

After the Na Fianna 2007 Boys hosted Castleknock, Whitehall Colmcilles and Kickhams over the past few weeks, last weekend the boys finally had the opportunity to play their first ever away matches. Kilmacud Crokes held a highly anticipated blitz, inviting teams from Maynooth, Newbridge Sarsfields, Round Towers of Kildare, and Na Fianna fielded 6 teams for the occasion. It was a beautiful morning and there was great excitement as the boys arrived for the event. Each and every player did Na Fianna proud, displaying great teamwork, skill and sporting behaviour. Na Fianna's future is in good hands with this enthusiastic bunch of players.
