48-week ban overturned; Joe Brolly dismisses GAA case as ‘complete b*****ks’

GAA pundit Joe Brolly appears to have come to the rescue of Antrim’s Matthew Fitzpatrick after the footballer was hit with a proposed 48-week suspension.

Brolly, who is also a barrister, helped Fitzpatrick with his appeal and as a result he will be available for Sunday's Ulster championship opener against Donegal in Ballybofey.

The ban came about result of an incident during Antrim’s League meeting with Armagh in March.
