Weekend winners Dublin, Tipperary and Fermanagh are well represented on our football team of the week ...

1. Evan Comerford (Tipperary)

Will have enjoyed his senior championship debut as Tipperary cruised to a 22-point victory over Waterford.

2. Mickey Jones (Fermanagh)

The Ernesiders will face a stiffer examination of their championship credentials when they line up against Monaghan at the penultimate stage.

3. Davy Byrne (Dublin)

One of three championship debutants in the sky blue's starting line-up, the Naomh Olaf clubman came out on top in his personal duel with the experienced Brian Kavanagh.

4. Robbie Kiely (Tipperary)

Kiely and his defensive colleagues are now preparing for a last four Munster SFC clash against Kerry.

5. Darren Daly (Dublin)

The 32-year-old generally goes about his business with the minimum of fuss and yesterday was no different.

6. Peter Acheson (Tipperary)

It was all one way traffic in Semple Stadium and the Premier County's centre-back was one of 10 players on the scoresheet.

7. Jack McCaffrey (Dublin)

His finger prints were all over many of Dublin's scores as he continued where he left off in the league with another performance high in work-rate.

8. Ryan Jones (Fermanagh)

Was the undisputed stand-out player for Pete McGrath's side, kicking three points from play.

9. Steven O'Brien (Tipperary)

The talented U-21 star kicked six points, three in each half, against the Deise.

10. Rory O'Connor (Longford)

The Longford half-forward can't be faulted for his side's dismal display as he kicked three points over Stephen Cluxton's cross bar.

11. Ciaran Kilkenny (Dublin)

After missing out on last year due to a cruciate ligament injury, the play-maker will be a key figure for Jim Gavin's men in the months ahead.

12. Philip Austin (Tipperary)

The Tipp half-forward registered three points from play in their facile victory.

13. Kevin McManamon (Dublin)

Deployed in a deep role, McManamon's appetite for hard graft made him a constant thorn in the side of the Longford defence.

14. Sean Quigley (Fermanagh)

The Fermanagh target man's accuracy from placed balls, he shot 1-4 from a penalty and frees against the Saffrons, was a key ingredient in their winning formula.

15. Bernard Brogan (Dublin)

Relieved of the free-taking duties, the former Footballer of the Year found the Longford target with 1-6 from play.
