Congratulations to each and every one of you who represented Abu Dhabi Na Fianna with such distinction over the weekend. Abu Dhabi Na Fianna drew huge acclaim not just in terms of the number of teams participating but also in terms of achievment and indeed off-field antics! Congratulations to the three Na Fianna teams (Ladies’ A and B and Men’s B) who secured silverware and in doing so made Na Fianna the most successful participating Club at the games. Hard luck to the Ladies C team who narrowly lost their final and to the Men’s A team who reached the penultimate stage of the A tournament. Just some points to note for the coming week.

Training
As mentioned over the weekend there will be no training tonight in order to give everyone a well-deserved break. Training will resume in Zayed Sports City on Wednesday at 6.45pm.

Honorable Mention
It may not be good practice to single any single person out but I feel it is necessary on this occasion to do so and to compliment the “Silver Fox” Patrick English. Former President of the GAA, Joe Mc Donagh, made special mention of Pat’s exploits and commitment to ladies football in the capital. The fact that we had three Ladies teams participating (two winning trophies) speaks volumes of the great efforts to which Pat (+Pat Kelly/Ben) have put in with all three ladies teams. I would like to second Joe McDonagh’s words and extend a sincere word of gratitude on behalf of all Na Fianna members to a gentleman and indeed one of Na Fianna’s greatest clubmen. Well done Pat English!!!

Lastly, thanks to everyone for their efforts in making the weekend a great success. I look forward to seeing you all on Wednesday night.

Kind Regards,

Trevor Buckley

Chairman Abu Dhabi Na Fianna
