Alan Brogan and Ciaran Kilkenny’s Twitter war is both hilarious and heartwarming

Game respects game

Power struggles.

As Ciaran Kilkenny started to burst onto the scene it was also the beginning of the end for Alan Brogan.

Brogan made his debut back in 2002 and has had an illustrious career for Dublin including 11 provincial titles, three All-Ireland titles, and a Player of the Year Award.

But all good things must come to an end and Brogan hung up the boots at the end of 2015.

Well, he retired from Dublin but is still tipping away with St. Oliver Plunketts but his championship season is long over after an extra time loss to Castleknock back in May.

Castleknock is Kilkenny’s club, they reached the Dublin Final last year and the forward was running a competition on his Twitter page for a signed jersey.

But Alan Brogan had to intervene, reminding Kilkenny of the controversial free awarded against Brogan to bring that game into extra time as Castleknock equalised.

And Kilkenny responded.

And then things all got a little bit lovely.

Bless…
