[edit] Sporting
He made his Senior football debut for Armagh in the Dr. McKenna Cup Final at Clones on September 25, 1994. However Oisin is rather confused as to when he made his championship debut. He claims in his book "The Gambler" it was in 1994 verus Derry. However Derry played Down. Oisin hopes that any further publications will be better researched .Oisín played in the half forward line for Armagh in their 2002 All-Ireland winning year. In the 2002 All Ireland Final against Kerry, Oisin overcame the set back of having his first half penalty saved, to step up and score the vital second half goal that was instrumental in Armagh winning a tight contest. In addition to his one and only Senior All Ireland medal, Oisin holds two All Star awards (2000 and 2002), six Ulster Senior Championship medals (1999, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2005, 2006)and a National League Winners medal (2005). Oisin also holds the record for the highest individual score in an Ulster Final, when he notched 2-07 against Down in the 1999 Ulster Final. Oisin has also won Under 12, Under 14, Under 16, Minor League and Championship, two U-21 Championships. During his schooldays at Saint Patrick's Grammar School, Armagh he won D’Alton, Corn na nÓg, and Rannafast Cups and was a MacRory Cup runner up.
He has also won 4 All-Ireland Club titles with Crossmaglen in 1997, 1999, 2000 and 2007 in which he was top scorer 3 times. He has recently made headlines in Ireland for starring in a New Years Eve Celebrity Jigs n' Reels special.
Despite rumours of retirement, Oisin has confirmed that he will be available to new Armagh manager Peter McDonnell for the 2008 season.
