The games might have been a bit lopsided but there was no shortage of outstanding individual displays as Dublin, Kerry, Donegal and Tyrone all safely progressed in the championship. Here's our football team of the week...

1. Niall Morgan (Tyrone)

Was called into action early on to thwart Pat Hughes' fisted effort and also found the target with a long range free.

2. Ronan McNabb (Tyrone)

McNabb and his Red Hand defensive colleagues will be in for a much sterner test when they face Conor McManus & Co next weekend.

3. Ryan McCluskey (Fermanagh)

Despite their eight point defeat, McCluskey and the Ernesiders can hold their heads high after their battling second-half performance against the Sam Maguire Cup favourites.

4. Shane Enright (Kerry)

Kerry's forwards grabbed all the headlines following their seven goal demolition of Kildare but, at the other end of the field, Enright stood out in a solid defensive display.

5. Ryan McHugh (Donegal)

Has developed a habit of scoring important goals in Croke Park and didn't break stride as he gathered the tap down from Michael Murphy before delivering the ball to the back of the Galway net.

6. Cian O'Sullivan (Dublin)

The Kilmacud Crokes star was one of the few Dublin defenders to perform up to scratch and the concession of 2-15 to Fermanagh will be a cause for concern for Jim Gavin.

7. Jack McCaffrey (Dublin)

McCaffrey also performed to his usual high standards and the attack-minded half-back found Bernard Brogan's chest with a precision-like pass for Dublin's opening goal.

8. David Moran (Kerry)

Along with Anthony Maher, Moran completely dominated the much talked about Kildare midfield partnership of Tommy Moolick and Paul Cribbin.

9. Michael Murphy (Donegal)

What a catch, what a point, what a tap down ... what a player! The Donegal captain was at his most effective against the Tribesmen when moved to the full-forward line for the second-half.

10. Stephen O'Brien (Kerry)

Justified Eamonn Fitzmaurice's decision to start him ahead of Johnny Buckley when putting the Lilywhites on the back foot right from the start and kicking 1-4 in total.

11. Colm McFadden (Donegal)

Handed a licence to operate between the two forward lines, the experienced attacker's finger prints were all over Donegal's three goals.

12. Odhran MacNiallais (Donegal)

The stylish Gweedore player's three second-half points were of the top drawer variety and he got through a lot of good work around the middle third of the field.

13. Colm Cooper (Kerry)

Tyrone's Darren McCurry can consider himself unfortunate not to make the cut but the Gooch was exceptional, scoring 2-3 on his 80th championship appearance for the Kingdom.

14.  Sean Quigley (Fermanagh)

The controversial goal aside, Fermanagh's talisman revelled in the open space of Croke Park and caused plenty of problems for the Dublin defence when kicking eight points, four from play.

15. Bernard Brogan (Dublin)

1-6 from play against Fermanagh, the former Footballer of the Year has rediscovered his best form as the Dubs enter the business end of the championship.
