Matthew Tierney (Galway)
Matthew Tierney made an incredible Championship debut for Galway in their Connacht SFC semi-final win over Roscommon. The midfielder scored 1-3, with his brilliantly finished goal effectively deciding the game in Galway’s favour.
Neil Flynn (Kildare)
Neil Flynn was the main man for Kildare as the Lilywhites saw off the tricky challenge of Offaly in Sunday’s Leinster SFC quarter-final. His place-kicking from distance was immaculate as he converted four frees and two ‘45s and chipped in with a crucial 1-1 from play for good measure.
Cathal Hickey (Meath)
Still eligible for the U-20 grade, Meath wing-back Cathal Hickey looks like a special footballer in the making. He was excellent for the Royals against Longford on Sunday, driving forward from defence to score 1-2.
