O’Callaghan and Sutcliffe selected on respective GAA.IE Teams of Week

Mon, 24th May 2021

Two Dubs - one in football and one in hurling - have been selected on this week's gaa.ie Teams of the Week.

Con O'Callaghan has also been shortlisted in the Footballer of the Week category.

Danny Sutcliffe has been named in the Hurling Team of the Week following his impressive display in Saturday's victory over Antrim in Parnell Park. The voting process for Footballer of the Week is - like their image on the GAA's official Instagram page.

Voting will close at 10am on Tuesday, May 25, and the winner will be announced on GAA.ie.

FOOTBALLER OF THE WEEK SHORTLIST

Con O’Callaghan (Dublin)

Dublin forward Con O’Callaghan caused the Kerry defence lots of problems, particularly in the first half, in Sunday’s entertaining Allianz Football League Division 1 draw. He scored 2-1 from play, assisted a third goal, and won the penalty for Dublin’s fourth goal.

Conor McCarthy (Monaghan)

Hat-tricks are very rare at the highest level of Gaelic football but Conor McCarthy needed just 21 minutes to bag his as he hit a shell-shocked Donegal defence for three goals in the first half of Saturday’s Allianz Football League Division 1 clash at MacCumhaill Park.

Shane McGuigan (Derry)

Shane McGuigan has been in fine form so far this year and produced another quality display in Derry’s convincing Allianz Football League Division 3 victory over Fermanagh. He finished with a personal tally of 2-5, with all of it from play apart from a well struck penalty.
