Brogan keen to get back in Dublin frame

FOR James Brogan, 2010 is a chance to see to some unfinished business. Or, to look at it another way, an opportunity to kickstart an inter-county career that ground to a cruel halt last season.

A cousin of his namesakes Alan, Bernard and Paul, son to Jim and nephew to Bernard Snr, Brogan had spent the first five months of 2009 as a card-carrying member of Pat Gilroy’s senior football panel.

His debut was a memorable one – the rollicking NFL opener against Tyrone at Croke Park in front of a crowd of 79,000 which opened the GAA’s 125 celebrations.
