THE NOMINEES FOR the latest GAA-GPA Opel player of the month awards have been revealed with Dublin and Mayo players contesting the football awards while it’s an all-Tipperary selection on the hurling front.
The awards are for the month of September but also take in last Saturday’s football final replay which took place on 1 October.
Dublin’s powerful midfielder Brian Fenton, Mayo’s explosive wing-back Patrick Durcan and Dublin’s man-of-the-match in the replay Michael Fitzsimons are in the shout for the football accolade.
While in the hurling it’s a trio of Tipperary players selection with Seamus Callanan, John McGrath and Ronan Maher all in the running.
Callanan hit a sensational tally of 0-13 – with 0-9 from play – in the final win over Kilkenny while John McGrath fired 1-3 in the same game. Maher superbly anchored Tipperary’s defence in the same match.

Durcan would be my choice… He was excellent in both games
Duran and Callanan
Has to be Fenton
He retired years ago paddy. Still doing a bit of coaching down in Cork though I think!
