Brogan: second is not enough

BERNARD BROGAN insists he will settle for nothing less than All-Ireland glory this year.

Pat Gilroy has chopped and changed his starting side all spring in an attempt to unearth new faces that could challenge for places in what has been a remarkably settled team in recent seasons.

With that in mind, a season of consolidation would hardly be a disaster for the county, even if it is waiting since 1995 for another All-Ireland title or even a place in the final, but Brogan begs to differ.
