## Club

Hearty was part of the Crossmaglen team that won 13 [Armagh Senior Football Championships](/source/Armagh_Senior_Football_Championship) in a row between 1996 and 2008.[1] This equals the national record for consecutive county football championships set by Ballina Stephenites of [Mayo](/source/Mayo_GAA) between 1904 and 1916.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] The 2008 win was Crossmaglen's 37th in all, also drawing them level with [Castleblayney Faughs](/source/Castleblayney_Faughs)'s record of most county football championships ever.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] Hearty has also won the [Ulster Senior Club Football Championship](/source/Ulster_Senior_Club_Football_Championship) seven times and the [All-Ireland Senior Club Football Championship](/source/All-Ireland_Senior_Club_Football_Championship) four times with the club. Hearty, along with [Oisín McConville](/source/Ois%C3%ADn_McConville), John McEntee, Tony McEntee, [Francie Bellew](/source/Francie_Bellew) and Cathal Short is one of six Crossmaglen players to have shared in all these successes since 1996.[1]

Hearty retired from the Crossmaglen Rangers in 2017 at the age of 39 but came out of retirement in 2018 for one game at the age of 40 as an emergency goalkeeper a year later in a league match against [Armagh harps](/source/Armagh_Harps_GFC).[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] He also filled-in as substitute goalkeeper for Crossmaglen in the 2020 county final against [Maghery](/source/Maghery_Sean_MacDermott's_GAC) at the age of 42 but did not play. Crossmaglen lost the match 0-17 to 4-09.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] This was the first time they had lost a county final in 38 years.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]

## County

Hearty also was substitute goalkeeper on the 2002 All-Ireland winning football team, and played on the losing side the following year against Tyrone.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*] He has 6 ulster championship medals a national league and was nominated for an all-star in 2005.[*[citation needed](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed)*]
