After their 16-point demolition of rivals Meath, Dublin are well-represented on our football team of the week.

1. Stephen Cluxton (Dublin)

Cluxton's kick-outs were the source of most of Meath's problems in the Leinster SFC final.

2. Andy Mallon (Armagh)

The tenacious Orchard County defender proved to be the rock on which many a Roscommon attack perished in Dr Hyde Park.

3. Neil McGee (Donegal)

Never one to shy away from a battle, McGee, along with his defensive colleagues, stood up to the Monaghan challenge in Clones.

4. Michael Fitzsimons (Dublin)

A late call-up to the Dublin team in place of Johnny Cooper, Fitzsimons conducted his business in a quiet and efficient manner.

5. James McCarthy (Dublin)

Meath couldn't cope with the pace of the flying Dublin half-back and his frequent forays into enemy territory.

6. Karl Lacey (Donegal)

The 2012 Footballer of the Year put his recent injury woes behind him to make a value contribution to Donegal's third Ulster victory in four years.

7. Ciaran McKeever (Armagh)

The Armagh captain led by example against the Rossies with a trademark display full of energy and purpose.

8. Shane McGrath (Clare)

McGrath and midfield partner Gary Brennan had Kildare on the back foot for most of the qualifier in Ennis but they came up agonisingly short at the final whistle.

9. Cian O'Sullivan (Dublin)

Like his midfield partner Michael Darragh Macauley, O'Sullivan's work-rate knew no bounds and he got his hands on a number of Cluxton's kick-outs.

10. Tony Kernan (Armagh)

The Crossmaglen star provided the link between defence and attack and chipped in with four points, three of which came from placed balls.

11. Alan Brogan (Dublin)

The elder of the Brogan siblings intelligent use of the ball had the Meath defence at sixes and sevens.

12. Ryan McHugh (Donegal)

McHugh underlined his value to the Donegal cause when kicking three points on top of providing a number of assists against Monaghan.

13. Kevin McManamon (Dublin)

The energetic number 13 repaid manager Jim Gavin's faith in him with a return of 1-5 from play in the Delaney Cup decider.

14. Michael Murphy (Donegal)

Asked to play further out the field for longer than usual, Murphy's influence grew as Donegal responded to the concession of Chris McGuinness' goal.

15. Alan Smith (Kildare)

As Kildare struggled to get into the game in Ennis, Smith's three first half points kept the Lilywhites in the hunt. Tweet
