Rob Downey – Cork
Rob Downey was a colossus for Cork in their Allianz Hurling League Division 1A Final win over Tipperary. He completely locked down the centre of their defence and was also the launch-pad for many of their attacks.
Brian Duignan – Offaly
Waterford’s defence struggled to contain Offaly target-man, Brian Duignan, in the Allianz Hurling League Division 1B Final. He won a huge amount of ball and scored five points from play.
Mark Fitzgerald – Waterford
The Waterford wing-back drove his team forward time and again in the Allianz Hurling League Division 1B Final. He defended tenaciously, scored three points from play, and created a goal for Patrick Curran.
Players of the Week are decided based on votes cast by followers of the Official GAA Instagram page.
