It was the Finals weekend across all four Divisions of the 2016 Allianz Football Leagues as Dublin, Tyrone, Clare, and Louth were crowned Champions of Division 1, 2, 3 and 4 respectively.

With four teams claiming national honours, it seems the right thing to do is to acknowledge all of them and nominate four players rather than the usual three for this week’s Football Player of the Week.

There were a number of tight calls to make here, but in the end we went for Dublin’s Ciaran Kilkenny, Tyrone’s Connor McAliskey, Clare’s Gary Brennan, and Louth’s Derek Maguire.

The voting process is simple: retweet the image of your chosen player on the GAA's official Twitter account (@officialgaa) or like their image on the GAA's official Facebook and Instagram pages.

Voting will close at 10am on Tuesday, April 26, and the winner will be announced on GAA.ie.

GAA.ie Football Player of the Week Nominations

Ciaran Kilkenny (Dublin)

This is the second time this month that Ciaran Kilkenny has been nominated for the GAA.ie Football Player of the Week, which is a testament to the brilliant form he has been in so far this year.

He was a human dynamo for the Dubs in Sunday’s Allianz Division 1 Final victory over Kerry and really lit up Croke Park with the energy and effectiveness of his performance.

The Castleknock clubman kicked two nice points from play, hoovered up a huge amount of possession, and always used it wisely. It was notable too that he was driving Kerry defenders backwards with his physicality whenever he ran into them.

Connor McAliskey (Tyrone)

Connor McAliskey has been in tremendous form all year for Tyrone so it was no surprise that he made such a decisive impact in Sunday’s Allianz Football League Division 2 victory over Cavan.

The Clonoe club-man scored five points from play and, along with his chief partner in crime, Ronan O’Neill, terrorised the Cavan defence.

McAliskey is more than just an out and out scorer. He’s a physically robust target-man who gives his team-mates a wonderfully willing and able outlet who can win all sorts of deliveries that are sent his way.

Gary Brennan (Clare)

Clare football’s Captain Fantastic was his typically inspirational self in the Banner County’s epic one-point Allianz Football League Division 3 Final win over Kildare on Saturday.

Brennan is one the best footballers in the country and drove Clare forward against the Lilywhites from his midfield berth.

He got on a huge amount of ball, and it was fitting that it should be he who claimed a spectacular high catch under pressure on the edge of the Kildare square and laid off the ball to Dean Ryan for a crucial equalising goal in the last minute of normal time.

Derek Maguire (Louth)

There are few sights in Gaelic Football more impressive than a rampaging wing-back who gets forward to score and Derek Maguire certainly caught the eye for Louth in Saturday’s victory over Antrim in the Allianz Football League Division 4 Final.

He scored 1-2 from play, and the goal was a really special finish early in the match that kept Louth in touch against an Antrim side that dominated much of the first half.

He finished the match with an exclamation mark too, popping up with the insurance point at the death for the Wee County.
