Brogan enjoys life in brother’s shadow

SIBLING rivalry seems to emanate from Alan Brogan when he tries to explain his recent fine spell of form.

Consistently excellent displays which have seen RTÉ hand him the man-of-the-match award in Dublin’s two championship games so far.

Now in his 10th year, the 29-year-old feels he benefited from a gradual return to football earlier in the season — and maybe brother Bernard not shooting out the lights just yet this season.
