CillianO'Connor was at his brilliant scoring best for Mayo delivering a 3-9 total during the Green and Red's success over Limerick at the Gaelic Grounds.

Ballintubber clubman O'Connor showed his finishing ability throughout the game for Mayo, who now face Tipperary in Round Two of the Qualifiers.

Tyrone edged a tight battle against Meath at Pairc Tailteann with ConnorMcAliskey's 1-8 haul one of the chief reasons why Mickey Harte's charges survived.

Injuries disturbed Tyrone's preparations for the game, but McAliskey assumed responsibility kicking crucial scores as the Red Hands advanced.

JamieBrennan impressed once more as Donegal proved far too strong for Down advancing to another Ulster decider.

A pacy Donegal outfit caused all sorts of problems for Down and the beaten team were unable to restrict the influence of Brennan, who registered 1-3.

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