At Under 12 level Jonny won League honours and again was a Player of the Year. After playing both Football and Hurling ay Under 14 level in 1999, Jonny left for a few years to concentrate on soccer but then realised Gaelic was just as important and came back.

Jonny’s most memorable moment was fisting in a goal for Eire Og in the 2005 Martin Cup Final. He also played for St Malachy’s College and reached the semi-final in the ‘B’ championship under Alec McGoran, aka B.A. Baracus or simply B.A. Big Alec was also Jonny’s PE teacher, as well as being an Eire Og stalwart himself.
