Jerome Johnston has stepped away from his managerial role with Ballybay rather than go up against his three sons in Sunday’s Ulster quarter-final encounter with Kilcoo at Clones.
Johnston has removed himself from the Ballybay Whatsapp group this week, leaving his fellow manager, Mark Doran to steer the Monaghan champions.
Ryan, Jerome and Shealan Johnston - all sons of Jerome senior - are expected to line out for the reigning All-Ireland champions at the weekend.
