Who caught the eye in Saturday's All-Ireland SFC quarter-finals? Here's our football team of the week...

1. Niall Morgan (Tyrone)

Was alert to pull off a good reflex save to keep out Conor McManus' deflected shot in injury-time.

2. Ger Cafferkey (Mayo)

After their struggles with Kieran Donaghy 12 months ago, Mayo have learned their lesson and Cafferkey benefitted from Barry Moran's presence as a sweeper.

3. Ronan McNamee (Tyrone)

Conceded two points form play to McManus but, overall, did as good a job as could be expected on the Farney ace - and also made the scoresheet.

4. Keith Higgins (Mayo)

As per usual, Higgins was very much to the fore as the Connacht champions set up a semi-final showdown with their Leinster counterparts.

5. Lee Keegan (Mayo)

Donegal couldn't cope with the Westport defender's marauding runs forward and he finished with 1-2 to his name.

6. Ronan McNabb (Tyrone)

Successfully limited Darren Hughes' impact and roamed forward to send over a crucial second-half point.

7. Colm Boyle (Mayo)

Put his shoulder to the wheel with a typically determined display and tracked the runs of Frank McGlynn and Ryan McHugh.

8. Mattie Donnelly (Tyrone)

Popped up with two late points to keep Monaghan at bay and has been consistency personified during the Red Hands march to the last four.

9. Seamus O'Shea (Mayo)

A commanding presence around the middle third of the field, was involved in the build-up for Mayo's two goals.

10. Sean Cavanagh (Tyrone)

The Red Hand captain got through an enormous amount of work and earned a number of frees that resulted in scores.

11. Michael Murphy (Donegal)

Carried the fight to his father's native county but, by and large, was left to plough a lone furrow up front.

12. Kevin McLoughlin (Mayo) 

Notched a point in each half and was full of industry, playing his part in keeping Donegal on the back foot.

13. Darren McCurry (Tyrone)

Continued where he left off against Sligo the previous weekend, kicking six points, including two form play, and made life difficult for Ryan Wylie.

14. Aidan O'Shea (Mayo)

Traditionalists delighted in the O'Shea's goal as he fielded a high delivery from his brother Seamus before muscling his way through the Donegal defensive cover.

15. Jason Doherty (Mayo)

An unsung hero, Doherty illustrated his talents with three valuable points for the team in green and red.
