  • Na Fianna Nuacht
    Na Fianna Nuacht Senior Football – 1st Home game of 2016 Senior football league action returns to Mobhi Rd this Sunday at 10.30, when we face Cuala. Our first outing was not an auspicious one, being beaten by Crokes 2–11 to 2–7. The team struggled badly in the first half to go into the break at 1-9 to 0-2 down but the second half performance was full of all the good qualities evident in this squad. Hopefully, we’ll continue where we left off in this outing against Cuala. Last year’s fixture against Cuala saw us score 8 goals which has not been done by a Senior team before in competitive action so Cuala will be coming over to Mobhi Rd looking to restore pride after being on the receiving end of that record and a victory over Ballymun in Pair Ciceam in the first round shows that they mean business in this year’s competition. With the return of Adzer Caffrey and Davy Quinn, who have both been out with long-term injuries, to the squad, Pillar will have some selection issues to contend with for this week’s game. With a bit of support from a home crowd, hopefully we can get a win recorded and target making the League playoffs for a third year running. Pitches Update All pitches are ON and playable at time of publication. Na Fianna Nuacht 11ú Márta 2016 1 Na Fianna Nuacht Weekend Fixtures All five adult football teams play in league on Sunday. Seniors host Cuala in Mobhi Road and Inters are away to Naomh Fionnbarra, both at 10.30am.
