Double boost for Dublin

THERE was a double helping of good news for Dublin supporters yesterday, with Alan Brogan insisting he will be available for the Blues’ Leinster SFC opener against Wexford on June 13, and that brother Bernard’s knee injury may not as bad as initially feared.

The elder Brogan aggravated an old hamstring problem playing for St Oliver Plunkett’s/Eoghan Ruadh against Ballyboden St Enda’s on Saturday night while Bernard hurt his knee in the same game with fears that it threatened his season.

However Alan is confident that both will make a speedy recovery.
