Tipperary's Conor Sweeney was one of the most clincial forwards in last year's All-Ireland Championship and this year he's picked up where he left off.
He was the main difference between the two teams as Tipperary defeated Longford by 3-17 to 0-18 on Saturday evening.
He scored 2-7, 2-4 of which was from play, as he gave an exhibition of forward movement, ball-winning ability, and clinical finishing.
It's a testament to the impact that Mark Bradley made against Cavan on Sunday that he makes this list despite only appearing as a second-half substitute.
But it was his introduction after 45 minutes that really changed the whole complexion of the game as he brought a cutting edge to the Tyrone attack that had previously been absent.
The classy inside-forward scored three sweet points from play and created space and opportunities for his colleagues in the Tyrone attack with his speed and intelligent movement.
Cavan might have lost to Tyrone, but big midfielder Gearoid McKiernan won plenty of honour with his individual display.
He scored 1-4, 1-2 of which was from play, and in a first half dominated by Cavan it was he who really led their charge.
His goal was a wonderfully improvised finish as he delicately palmed the ball first-time over the head of the advancing Niall Morgan and into the back of the net.
