Longford, Fermanagh, Kildare, Kerry, Cork and Roscommon all have representatives on our football team of the week ...

1. Paddy Collum (Longford)

Collum and Longford are looking forward to a Round 3A clash against Kildare following their three point win over Clare.

2. Mickey Jones (Fermanagh)

Dealt comfortably with any ball that came his way as the Ernesiders restricted Antrim to eight points from play.

3. Ciaran Fitzpatrick (Kildare)

The full-back was prominent as the Lilywhites scraped over the gutsy challenge of hosts Offaly.

4. Marc O Se (Kerry)

The veteran Kingdom star had his hands full with Colm O'Neill in a ding dong tussle.

5. Marty O'Brien (Fermanagh)

Was solid in defence and also got forward to find the back of the Saffrons net with 16 minutes left on the clock.

6. Michael Shields (Cork)

Won't care to be reminded about his mistake which resulted in Kieran Donaghy's goal but the experienced defender recovered his composure.

7. Barry O'Driscoll (Cork)

The flying Rebel half-back got forward at every available opportunity and his adventure was rewarded with 1-1.

8. Alan O'Connor (Cork)

Answered Brian Cuthbert's SOS call to come out of inter-county retirement and produced a 'man-of-the-match' performance around the middle third of the field.

9. Michael Quinn (Longford)

The hard-working midfielder covered practically every blade of the Cusack Park pitch.

10. Cathal Cregg (Roscommon)

Cregg and the Rossies silenced their critics with an impressive seven point defeat of Cavan.

11. Eoghan O'Flaherty (Kildare)

On a day when many of his team-mates failed to click, the Carbury man steadied the Kildare ship with a return of 1-7 (1-3 from play).

12. Enda Smith (Roscommon)

Drifted in behind the Cavan defence to raise two green flags in Breffni Park and also chipped in with a point for good measure.

13. Colm O'Neill (Cork)

Was subdued during the early exchanges but escaped the close attentions of Marc O Se to pilfer 1-2 from play.

14. Sean Quigley (Fermanagh)

As far as scoring exploits go, it's hard to beat the Roslea ace's 14 point contribution in Brewster Park.

15. James O'Donoghue (Kerry)

The Footballer of the Year marked his return to the Kingdom jersey with 1-2, the goal via the penalty spot, and his movement caused plenty of problems for the Cork rearguard.
