Reigning All-Ireland Champions Kilkenny proved they are fired up to make it three Liam MacCarthy Cups in a row this year by crushing Dublin's challenge when the teams met in Saturday's Leinster SHC Semi-Final.

The conveyor belt of talent is clearly still turning as effectively as ever in the county because their best player on the day was Championship debutant Jonjo Farrell.

He's joined in this week's Hurler of the Week nominations by Mayo's Kenny Feeney and Louth's Andrew Mackin who were both outstanding as their respective counties won their Christy Ring and Nicky Rackard Promotion/Relegation Play-Offs.

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, June 14 and the winner will be announced on GAA.ie.

Hurler of the week nominations

Jonjo Farrell - Kilkenny

The 27-year-old Farrell is something of a late bloomer. He's been on the Kilkenny panel for the past few years, but didn't make his Championship debut until Saturday's Leinster Semi-Final win over Dublin.

On the basis of his performance in that match, he was overdue the opportunity because he was outstanding as he scored a whopping 1-5 from play. 

His finishing wasn't the only aspect of his play that stood out. He's an absolute workaholic, and the manner in which he grafted and fought for every ball surely brought a smile to Brian Cody's face.

Kenny Feeney - Mayo

It's a testament to Kenny Feeney's consistency that he is nominated for Hurler of the Week for the second week in a row.

He followed up his Man of the Match performance in the Nicky Rackard Cup Final with another tour de force on Saturday as Mayo defeated Derry in the Christy Ring Promotion/Relegation Play-Off. 

The Tooren club-man scored 11 points, three of them from play, as the Derry defence found him too hot to handle.

Andrew Mackin - Louth

Andrew Mackin was Louth's super-sub in the Lory Meagher Cup Final two weekends again when he came off the bench and scored 1-2. 

He proved that was no fluke by turning in a sensational performance when given the opportunity to start Saturday's Nicky Rackard Promotion/Relegation clash with Fermanagh.

Mackin led the Fermanagh defence a merry dance by scoring 4-4 from play as Louth stormed to an impressive victory.
