GAA.ie Footballer of the Week

1: Damien Comer (Galway) - 6,916 votes

2: Mattie Donnelly (Tyrone) - 4,756 votes

3: Niall Scully (Dublin) - 3,254 votes


Powerful Annaghdown attacker Damien Comer signalled Galway's intentions with two excellent early points against Mayo at Pearse Stadium.

Galway captain Comer is an influential figure for Kevin Walsh's team, who broke well at speed during their morale boosting success in Salthill.

Mattie Donnelly provided a moment of true inspiration in Newbridge to earn Tyrone a crucial triumph against Kildare on Sunday.

With the issue delicately poised Donnelly drove forward to land a gorgeous point for Tyrone, who claimed their first Allianz Football League win following defeats to the in form Galway and Dublin.

Niall Scully decorated another dynamic individual display with four points from play against Donegal under the Saturday night Croke Park lights.

Scully's industrious performance was one of the chief reasons why Dublin were able to carve out a victory against a defiant Donegal outfit at GAA headquarters.
