Saffrons call in Brolly to fight Fitzpatrick's case

May 17, 2017

Antrim's Matthew Fitzpatrick and Joe Brolly.

Joe Brolly is to spearhead Antrim footballer's Matthew Fitzpatrick's appeal against his 48-week suspension.

Fitzpatrick was hit with the lengthy ban after being found guilty of giving 'deliberately false evidence and deliberately [misleading] the hearing' earlier this month.

The suspension stems from an investigation into an incident from the Division 3 fixture against Armagh in March.

The Belfast Telegraph is reporting today that barrister Brolly has agreed to fight the St John's player's case.

Wouldn't it be great to be a fly on the wall when the RTE pundit and Fitzpatrick appear in front of the GAA's Central Appeals Committee!
