Michael Murphy
Michael Murphy was the main man for Donegal in their fine win over Armagh. He scored six points, two of them from play, and was at the heart of many more attacking thrusts over the course of the match.
Paul Conroy (Galway)
Paul Conroy’s outstanding season continued apace on Sunday with a man of the match performance for Galway against Mayo. He scored three points, assisted four more, and carried the ball with real intent all day.
Kevin Quinn (Wicklow)
Wicklow’s spectacular win over Laois came courtesy of a real team performance, but Kevin Quinn’s individual display that saw him score a hat-trick of goals was something extra special.
