I was impeded running for the ball in a one-on-one, insists Brogan

DUBLIN attacking star Bernard Brogan last night insisted on Twitter that he was fouled by Kildare defender Aindriú MacLochlainn which led to the controversial free he pointed to hand Dublin victory in last Sunday’s Leinster semi-final in Croke Park.

Responding to Mayo forward Conor Mortimer, Brogan tweeted, ‘@Conmort your right, I was impeded running for the ball in a one-on-one, that’s a free in my book, end of. Don’t start @Woolberto :). At the end of his tweet Brogan was referring to former Laois player Colm Parkinson who questioned the validity of the free but he did receive support from Mortimer. ‘I’d say it wasn’t the first time in the game either boss good winner #composure’.

Meanwhile the Dublin minor footballers, managed by former senior Dessie Farrell, will be bidding to reach the Leinster final when they face off against Kildare in tonight’s semi-final in Parnell Park at 7.30pm. Farrell has named an unchanged team for the clash from the side that beat Longford at the quarter-final stage.
