Kerry's David Moran and Seamus Hickey of Limerick have been named the Opel GAA/GPA All Stars players of the month for August.

Moran is rewarded for his immense midfield performance against Mayo in the Kingdom's All-Ireland SFC semi-final replay victory, while Hickey battled back from a cruciate ligament injury sustained last year to star in Limerick's narrow All-Ireland SHC semi-final defeat to Kilkenny.

In congratulating both players on their awards, GAA President Liam O'Neill commented: "Kerry have grown into this year's championship in fine style and few have epitomised this more than David Moran

"He has been a rock at centre-field for Kerry and his performance in the replay win over Mayo in Limerick was one of the best of the season.

"Seamus Hickey has long been one of Limerick's stand-out performers and his versatility has been a major asset to successive managers from the county.

"His exhibition against Kilkenny on a most difficult day for hurling was immense and although the result did not satisfy Limerick expectations, his input was something to savour - a fact acknowledged by his peers."
