Injury a 'huge blow' for Brennan and Lilywhites

Kildare manager John Crofton has described the Achilles tendon injury midfielder Killian Brennan suffered in Sunday's NFL Division One semi-final as "a huge blow."

Brennan, who hails from the Suncroft club, had been having an excellent season and was thriving on the responsibility of being Kildare's stand-in captain, in the absence of the injured Dermot Earley.
