Na Fianna Nuacht Na Fianna Nuacht Three In A Row For Minor Hurling Champions The stakes were high last Saturday when the Minor Hurlers ran onto the pitch at Parnell Park as a possible 3 in a row in the County Championship was up for grabs. They knew they had the ability to do it, and they did so with a respectable final score of 1-20 to 1-15 against their Northside Dublin neighbours St Vincents. The starting 15 and scorers were Ciaran McHugh, Darragh Bergin, Donal Ryan, Conor Kelly, Darragh McHugh, Peter Feeney, Craig Berrigan, Seafra Fitzgerald,0-2 Donal Burke 0-3 Neil Loftus,0-1 John Tierney 0-1, David Lacey, Sean Currie,0-2 Cathal Caverly 1-0 and Colin Currie 0-10. Subs Michael Murphy for David Lacey (47), Eoin O Dea 0-1 for Cathal Caverly (47). The overall panel of 30 have put a huge amount of effort into bringing success at this level to the Club and with one exception, won every match on the road to Parnell Park for the Championship Final. The Club can be rightly proud of this 3 in a row achievement and it demonstrates how Hurling is going from strength to strength here. Declan Feeney and his selectors would like to especially thank Daire and Odhran Meleady for their expertise in coaching this panel to such a high standard and also all the parents Na Fianna Nuacht 4ú Samhain 2016 1 Na Fianna Nuacht who kindly volunteered to give lifts to and from matches, (even when the match was in Co.Tipp or Galway) and all who helped in catering for visiting teams. A special thanks to all the team supporters who cheered so loudly for the Team at all their matches. Declan Feeney, proud Minor Hurling manager Juvenile Coaching Programme A Dual Foundation Award Coaching Course will start next Wednesday 9th November in the club and will run over the following two Wednesdays, 16th and 23rd. This course is for both Hurling and Football and will be held between 7.15pm and 9.30pm. On Wed 30th a Code of Best Practice workshop will be held from 7.15-9.30.

Na Fianna Nuacht 4ú Samhain 2016 2 Na Fianna Nuacht All-Stars Awards Pictured above at Friday night’s GAA/GPA All-Stars Awards in the Convention Centre were two proud Na Fianna men. Congrats to Jonny Cooper on his award and best of luck to Dessie Farrell in his endeavours as he presided over his last awards ceremony as CE of Gaelic Players Association. U16 ‘A’ Hurlers Finish Season On A High. The U16 hurlers finished their Juvenile hurling careers on a high note on Saturday 22nd October. Having lost out to Ballyboden by a last minute point in the Championship quarter final, a disappointed group of players resolved to not end the season on a low point. Team goals were re-set and winning the Shield became a new target. Na Fianna Nuacht 4ú Samhain 2016 3 Na Fianna Nuacht An under-strength Ballinteer St. John were comfortably overcome in the semi final and St. Vincents would be the opposition in the Final. (A match up mirroring the Minor A final). In what was a tough and physical battle, the Na Fianna lads were steady in the first half scoring 1-5 (0-3f) to St Vincents 0-3 (0-3f). Mentors agreed that the Na Fianna lads executed as many hooks and blocks as ever seen in a game, especially by the forwards and midfield. St. Vincents upped the intensity in the second half, but Na Fianna weathered the storm and added a further 13 points to their first half tally to finish up the game with a score of 1-18 to 1-4, holding St. Vincents to a single score from play. On a lighter note, one of the mentors thought he needed an interpreter during the second half when one of the Na Fianna players needed some attention because he “bih hid dung”! It’s worth adding that the eventual U16 A Championship winners (Kilmacud Crokes) were only beaten once this year, and it was by this hard working bunch of Na Fianna U16s. This Shield adds to the U15 ‘A’ shield this team won last year, and the shield that the U16 ‘B’ team won the previous week. For the 'A's, the season ended with the ‘A’ shield and a third place finish in a highly competitive division 1 league. Parents and mentors returned to the club later that evening for pizza, refreshments and presentations. Special thanks to Shane Barrett for presenting the medals to both A & B squads. Thanks also to Alva Baxter and all the parents who organised the "parents get Na Fianna Nuacht 4ú Samhain 2016 4 Na Fianna Nuacht together" - a great night was had by all. The mentors wish the lads all the best at minor grade next year, and also wish to acknowledge everyone who helped with this team over the years, from linesmen and umpires, to net and flag installers to carpool drivers and jersey washers. Thanks to all - it was a team effort. Full House at Helix For Na Fianna’s Strictly What a night we had at last Friday’s Strictly at The Helix. On the night, fourteen couples made up of a cross section of the Club’s membership took to the stage in what was a fantastic club atmosphere. An unforgettable Club night that will go down in Na Fianna history and folklore as one of the great nights, this saw Na Fianna at its very best. All ages, all groups, all codes were represented in an evening of fun, friendship and camaraderie. Above is a small sample of some of the night’s action and we hope to feature a more substantial report on this hugely successful evening very soon. Sincere thanks to all who supported.

Under 14 B Camogie Championship Success The Na Fianna Under 14 B team are Division 5 championship winners after a fantastic victory over Beann Éadair on Saturday 22nd October. The final took place in Trinity Gaels in Balgrifin on an excellent playing surface and great credit must go to the Dublin Camogie County Board (Brendan Cooper, Sandra Tarr, and Rachel Rogers) for making the day such a memorable experience for all concerned. The girls have worked very hard this year at improving their skills and understanding of the game and on the day they produced a wonderful team performance to defeat Beann Éadair convincingly on a score line of Na Fianna 9-0 to Beann Éadair 0-0.

    Na Fianna Nuacht The Sports Forum Event was set up to provide funding to teams for the year ahead with all of the profits to be distributed to teams. The organizing committee started the process back in November with the intention of putting on a show with a high quality line up in a high quality setting that would appeal to members and non-members alike. A total of nine teams from juvenile to adult participated who would share in the profits from selling tickets and adverts as well as auction and raffle. As a club we are fortunate to have such a diverse group of members and the show would not have been possible without the help of our very own MC Shane Coleman from Newstalk, Dessie Farrell, John Horan, Jonny Cooper as well as past members Kieran McGeeney and Kenny Cunningham, and behind the scenes Senan Connell, Karl Donnelly, Neil Mulhern, Tom Dowd and Stephen Behan helped with the production. The night kicked off with Barry Murphy’s alter ego Gunther Grun providing the entertainment and it was clear to see why he is recognised as one of the 10 Kings of Irish Comedy over the last 20 years by Hot Press. Next up were Shane Coleman with Anna Geary, Kenny Cunningham and Shane Horgan. Each of the panel shared some great stories and delved into a variety of topics keeping the audience suitably entertained. After the break we were treated to some more fun from Barry Murphy, this time MC Shane Coleman being the subject matter. Following this and allowing Shane some respite from Barry’s attentions, Shane welcomed on stage Jonny Cooper and Kieran McGeeney who gave us insights into coaching and what it takes to play at the top level in sport.

In 1999, the Club voted to purchase the site and for the past decade, the club has diligently proceeded to develop the complex. To date a floodlit Astroturf type All-Weather pitch has been provided; a superb floodlit All-Weather pitch (140m x 81m) came on stream in 2008 and next Spring the Prunty pitch (138m x 86m) will be used for games. Already, the club has claimed honours – Senior hurling league and Under 14 football league titles on the new pitch – a happy omen for the future. The AGM held on 4 December 2008 gave the go-ahead to commence the construction of six dressing rooms at the site. Dressing room facili- ties will also be provided in Knocklyon Park. Sports Capital grants will assist greatly in meeting the costs of these facilities and the club New Floodlit All-Weather pitch at Sancta Maria is extremely grateful to all who have supported the club in these endeavours.

Ádh mór ar Chiara Ní Raghallaigh, Seosamh Ó Maolalaí agus ár gCoiste Gaeilge as ucht an obair a rinnneadar na blianta anuas chun an Ghaeilge a chur chun cinn. Na Fianna has achieved the stunning distinction of being awarded the top Gold Award (Bonn Óir) from the Joe McDonagh Foundation, a collaboration between GAA and Glór na nGael to promote Gaeilge agus cultúr across more than 2,200 clubs around the country.
