Who is Justin McMahon?

Justin McMahon is an All-Ireland Senior Football Championship-winning Tyrone Gaelic footballer. In 2006, he captained the Tyrone Under 21 team in their Ulster Championship-winning campaign, and has lived up to expectation and has graduated to the senior squad, joining his older brother, Joe.

He made his senior debut for Tyrone in the National Football League second round against Fermanagh. He scored a point in his debut. He played Full Back for the Tyrone All Ireland winning team in 2008, and managed to mark Kerry's Kieran Donaghy out of the game, rendering him scoreless.

He is also part of the Omagh St. Enda's Senior team, playing as a forward, and his efforts in 2006 have been rewarded with a nomination for the Tyrone All Stars, one of two Omagh men to meet that standard.

In early 2007, Justin was nominated as the Ulster Herald Sports Personality of the Year for 2006, having been the newspaper's Sports Personality of March, when he had captained Tyrone's U-21 Ulster Championship success.

He played in the MacRory Cup for Omagh CBS in 2004, and captained the team to the semi-final, and while at university, he played for St. Mary's in the 2007 Dr. McKenna Cup.
