It's still all to play for across the four divisions in the football leagues, here's our team of the week ...

1. Chris Kerr (Antrim)

Kerr kept a clean sheet as the Saffrons picked up their third win in Division 4 at the expense of Waterford.

2. Seanie McDermott (Roscommon)

The Rossies bounced back from the defeat to Laois with an impressive win over Kildare and McDermott was particularly effective in their full-back line.

3. Michael Shields (Cork)

The experienced Shields was a reassuring presence in defence as Cork came away from Healy Park with a narrow win over Tyrone under their belts.

4. Rory Dunne (Cavan)

The Breffni County made it two wins and a draw on the road against Galway and currently occupy fourth spot in Division 2.

5. Declan McCusker (Fermanagh)

The half-back made the scoresheet with two points as Fermanagh took a step closer to promotion courtesy of a comfortable success over Limerick.

6. Cian O'Sullivan (Dublin)

Dublin enjoyed a return to winning ways with a clinical display against Mayo and O'Sullivan was one of many players to impress in the sky blue jersey.

7. Colin O'Riordan (Tipperary)

The All-Star nominee was very much to the fore, kicking over two points, as the Premier County kept their slim promotion hopes alive with an eight point victory in Drogheda.

8. John O'Loughlin (Laois)

The hard working O'Loughlin was the driving force behind the O'Moore County's second half comeback in Pairc Tailteann.

9. David Moran (Kerry)

On top of bossing the midfield exchanges against Donegal, the Kerry number 9 confidently finished a penalty past Paul Durcan with five minutes left in Tralee.

10. Dessie Mone (Monaghan)

Four points from Clontibret clubman Mone helped the Farney County see off the challenge of Derry in Clones.

11. Kevin McKernan (Down)

The Mourne County took a giant step towards promotion with a convincing away victory against Westmeath and McKernan produced a top notch display.

12. Tony Kernan (Armagh)

The Crossmaglen ace was on target with 2-2 as Division 3 pacesetters Armagh held off a strong second half challenge from hosts Clare in Ennis.

13. Colm O'Neill (Cork)

Tyrone failed to contain the gifted Rebel forward who sent over eight points, including the late winner, in Omagh.

14. Kevin McManamon (Dublin)

The lively McManamon caused plenty of headaches for the Mayo defence who had no answer to the movement and accuracy of the Dublin attacking unit.

15. Cathal Cregg (Roscommon)

Cregg took the game to Kildare straight from the throw-in and finished the contest in Newbridge with six points from play to his name.
