Through The Chair

Abu Dhabi Na Fianna is one of the world’s fastest growing GAA clubs. It is the only club that has hosted the GAA World Games as well as countless Inter-County teams and a GAA All-Stars tour. This book charts the meteoric rise to fame of Na Fianna from the perspectives of the ten Chairmen who led the organisation’s 25-year journey. Each shared a messianic desire to lead the club with influence and impact. Their incisive recollections immerse you in a concoction of trials, tribulations and triumphs. Through gripping and exposing narratives, extraordinary adventures are relived. Each chair waxes lyrical about the importance of surviving and prospering. Over 100 internal and external stakeholders submit enlightening testimonials, and the best teams from various eras are chosen. The results of psychometric tests performed on each Chair allow readers to gain insight into the minds of these luminaries. The club’s extensive philanthropy work is also highlighted. Recollections penned in this epic journey can now be bequeathed to future club members, and moved into history.
