Ballybay manager to take step back for Ulster quarter final

Jerome Johnston says he won't be taking charge of Ballybay in their Ulster club football quarter-final against Kilcoo this weekend. Johnston is a native of Kilcoo and has three sons and six nephews on the Down champions' panel. Ballybay - who won the Monaghan title for the first time in ten years this season when they defeated the reigning county champions Scotstown, followed that up with a victory over Armagh's Crossmaglen last weekend in the preliminary round. The 2 sides are set to meet this Sunday at 1:30 in St Tiernachs Park Clones.
