The two newest members of Abu Dhabi Na Fianna and the Irish Society arrived last week: twins Liam and Isobel, courtesy of proud parents Neiti and Simon. Congratulations all round!

Just a final reminder of the Ball on Thursday in the Crowne Plaza beginning at 7:30. The cost is 250 Dhs with a free bar and Five course meal. Dress code is smart (shirt and tie lads) and this is an opportunity for people to say cheerio to some of the gang who are leaving us this year. It is also a celebration of the year within the club and as a result Mike Boyce has asked me to forward this message.

If anyone has pictures from this year, the Paddy’s Ball, Oman, Bahrain, and games, could you please forward to me.  pillsburydoughboyce@hotmail.com.  Please make sure they say from what event, and are of good quality.

Cheers,
Canadian Mike

Thursday night saw the single lads retain the Tadhg Flahive Trophy at the American School Pitches. It was a great match with the Married Mixed team rolling back the years and giving a great account of themselves with the final score being Singles 3-10 Married 3-7. A big thank you must go out to all the players who came and put their bodies on the line in very warm conditions.

Also note the Irish Society AGM is being held on Monday 2nd June in the Crowne Plaza. All Paid up members of the GAA are also Irish society members and their presence at the AGM would be welcomed. I will also be holding the Box Office for the GAA Ball that night (Monday June 2) in the Crowne Plaza so you can kill two birds with one stone.

We will hope to see as many of you as possible on Thursday night. If there is a problem with you getting to the box office but you definitely want tickets can you call me on 050 721 4682. I will also need a full list of names and the group you would like to be seated with. Tables hold 10 people and we have room for 18 tables so the sooner you let me know the better this will work out.

All the best
Ben Kehoe
GAA Chairman
