National Club Draw – The Tickets are In! Go
raibh maith agaibh, agus Ádh mór!
After a hectic weekend of last-minute sales, with a surge in on-line sales and the magic of
Revolut, Na Fianna have sold almost 1,800 tickets.
If you purchased on-line you will receive your ticket no. via email, and if you purchased via
Revolut etc. please contact your seller for your ticket no.
Every cent raised in ticket sales goes directly to CLG Na Fianna, and this year to the
resurfacing of our small All Weather pitch.
Sale of the ticket doesn’t stop there. All tickets must be accounted for, stubs completed for
every ticket, and every sale recorded in the GAA database. Many many people contributed
to the success of our campaign. A huge Go Raibh Míle Maith Agat to our super sellers
Donal Ring, Liam Burke and Niall McGovern, and our tireless Distribution, Marketing and
Administration teams, including Georgina Caraher, Anne O’Dea, Carla Downes, Karen Fox,
Annette Nugent and Cormac O’Sullivan.
The GAA National Club Draw will take place on Thursday 12th March 2020. To ensure Na
Fianna ticketholder winners, Na Fianna will make its own draw of 5 tickets on Thursday 19th
March, giving away 5 prizes of €200 each!
To those of you who purchased tickets go raibh maith agaibh, agus Ádh mór!

Message From Fixtures Committee
The inclement weather we are having at present has caused the pitches to be top heavy, will
teams please do their warm up drills on the side off the pitch or behind the end line, and also
ask opposition to do same.
If the opposition’s grounds are unplayable we are not in a position of host the game. Please
do not contact Fixtures to see if we can host it.
Check the Fixtures on the Na Fianna web site to see the venue and time of your game, as
we get fixtures in from four different County Boards with multiple teams being fixed for same
venue and time. If a game on the Na Fianna website is different than that issued by the
County Board it is the responsibility of the team mentor to contact the opposition and referee
of the change.
Many thanks for your co-operation.

want you to join us on Good Friday for a run to remember!
Starting and finishing at the Na Fianna clubhouse, the event will take place on the local
roads and take in a circuit of Albert College Park.

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 when
they are reported to news@clgnafianna.ie
