Voting will close at 10am on Tuesday, February 15, and the winner will be announced on GAA.ie.

Stephen Bennett (Waterford)

Stephen Bennett was Waterford’s scorer-in-chief as the Deise put Laois to the sword in very ruthless fashion. He scored a whopping total of 3-8, including 1-2 from play and two emphatically struck penalties.

Jason Forde (Tipperary)

Jason Forde’s touch of class made the difference as Tipperary edged out Kilkenny by a point in FBD Insurance Semple Stadium. He scored five points from play and five frees, including the injury-time winner.

Darragh Fitzgibbon (Cork)

Cork midfielder, Darragh Fitzgibbon, was a driving force for the Rebels in their convincing win over Offaly. He scored 1-2 from play and hit a huge amount of ball to continue his very impressive early-season form.

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