Ciaran Duggan (Galway)

Annaghdown clubman Ciaran Duggan was immense at midfield during Galway's third straight Championship triumph over Mayo at Elverys MacHale Park.

Duggan contributed two excellent points from play and also made some fine fetches as Kevin Walsh's team set up a Connacht semi-final against Sligo.

Michael Murphy (Donegal)

Michael Murphy remains an influential figure for Donegal, who carved out a fine victory over Cavan in Ballybofey.

The versatile Glenswilly star struck six points, including three from play, for Declan Bonner's new look team.

Mark Jackson (Wicklow)

It was a memorable Sunday afternoon for Wicklow goalkeeper Mark Jackson at O'Moore Park in Portlaoise as John Evan's outfit caused a surprise by beating Offaly.

Amazingly Jackson finished the contest with a seven point haul with the Wicklow custodian landing five frees and two '45s which decorated a brilliant triumph for the underdogs, who now face All Ireland champions Dublin on May 27.
