Lee Keegan rages at ‘dirty’ Kerry tackle

Mayo’s Leeroy Keegan has hit out at the “very dirty tackle” which left colleague Evan Regan nursing a nasty facial injury at the weekend.

Keegan is understood to be referring to an incident involving Kerry defender Ronan Shanahan in the second half of Mayo’s defeat to the Kingdom in Castlebar after which Regan was visibly dazed and helped off the pitch. Shanahan was booked by referee Derek O’Mahony for the challenge.

Former Footballer of the Year Keegan, currently recovering from hip surgery, confirmed that Regan will be out of action for some time.
