GAA.ie Footballer of the Week nominees

Tom Flynn (Galway)

Tom Flynn was an instrumental figure as Galway claimed a second Connacht SFC title in three years at Dr Hyde Park.

The Athenry clubman produced an energetic display for Kevin Walsh's team, who produced a strong second half display to earn glory.

Diarmuid Murtagh (Roscommon)

Diarmuid Murtagh drilled five points, including three from play, in Sunday's western provincial decider.

The talented St Faithleach's attacker has established himself as a key figure for Roscommon alongside brother Ciarain, who notched a goal.

Shane Walsh (Galway)

When Galway needed scores and inspiration in the first half Shane Walsh supplied both.

The Kilkerrin-Clonberne forward kicked eight points for the Tribesmen, while also repeatedly making driving runs throughout the game.
