Two Mayo footballers have been included in the GAA.ie Team of the Week.

Defender Donnacha McHugh was named at corner-back. The Castlebar Mitchels man put on a teak-tough defensive performance against the Kingdom, curtailing David Clifford to only two points and a two-pointer from play.

Meanwhile, at the other end, Ryan O’Donoghue was named at corner-forward. The Belmullet man was outstanding in Saturday’s Kerry win, notching 0-9, including a monster sideline kick.

Donoghue has also been nominated for Player of the Week for his efforts.

Next up for Mayo is a trip to Celtic Park to face League Champions Derry.
