Paddy McBrearty (Donegal)

Paddy McBrearty excelled for Donegal in their Allianz Football League Division 1 North draw with Armagh on Saturday night. He scored eight points, five of them from play, and showed real leadership throughout for Declan Bonner’s team.

Cormac Costello (Dublin)

Cormac Costello continued his flying start to the season by scoring six points, five of them from play, in Dublin’s Allianz Football League Division 1 South victory over Galway on Sunday. The Whitehall Colmcilles man has now scored 3-22 in just three League matches.

Sam Mulroy (Louth)

Sam Mulroy was inspirational for Louth on Sunday as they turned a three-point deficit into a 10-point win over Sligo that secured their place in the Allianz Football League Division 4 semi-finals. Mulroy banged in two goals in quick succession early in the second half, assisted a third, and finished with a personal tally of 2-3.

Players of the Week are decided based on votes cast by followers of the Official GAA Instagram page.
