Na Fianna’s Operation Transformation is gathering pace and following the initial “Weigh In”
on Tuesday 22nd January when all our leaders recorded their baseline weights, the first
interim weigh in took place this weekend. We’re delighted to announce that everyone is
shedding the weight! Top place this weekend however goes to Nora McCarrick, representing
the 2007 Boys, who leads the pack with 6% weight loss. Well done to all, and keep up the
great work.

……and finally
Congrats to Elyse Jamieson-Murphy who was
recently named on the Dublin Minor Camogie

Fógra Tabachtach
The objective of Na Fianna Nuacht is to communicate as much club activity as possible however it is important to note that all
items for inclusion in either Club Notes or Na Fianna Nuacht are reported to news@clgnafianna.ie or texted to 087 9250697 by
Sunday evening. With a growing membership of almost 3,000 and over 100 teams now competing it is difficult to ensure all club
activity is reported upon – Do not assume that your team’s activity is already known to Na Fianna Nuacht or that someone else
has reported it. When errors or omissions occur it is the policy of Na Fianna Nuacht to correct these in subsequent issues wh en
they are reported to news@clgnafianna.ie
