Jerome Johnston junior was glad to put a tough week behind himself and his family with an impressive Kilcoo victory over the weekend.
The All-Ireland champions disposed of Monaghan kingpins Ballybay in clinical fashion at Clones to set up an Ulster semi-final encounter with Enniskillen Gaels in a fortnight. It was a difficult week for the Johnston family with father Jerome stepping aside from his role as joint manager with Ballybay.
Johnston had told Ballybay when he originally accepted the post that he wouldn’t coach against his home club and his three sons - Ryan, Jerome and Shealan - if it ever came to it.
