There were a number of outstanding performers on provincial club semi-final weekend.

1 Conor Slevin (Kilcormac Killoughey)

His opportunistic puck-outs created both goals for Kilcormac Killoughey, while he also stood tall with big saves, making one from a Niall O'Brien 21 in the dying seconds.

2 Eimhin Keenan (Ardee St Mary's)

Tackled tenaciously throughout, and got forward for a fine score as Ardee St Mary's became the first Louth club to reach a Leinster final since Mattock Rangers in 2002.

3 Kevin Burke (Na Fianna)

Composed in possession and defended resolutely, often facing up against the brilliant Rory O'Connor.

4 Willie Hahessy (Rathgormack)

Held Crokes' danger-man Tony Brosnan scoreless from play, and also raided forward to great effect.

5 Eoin O'Connell (Loughmore-Castleiney)

Made loads of ground for Loughmore-Castleiney with pacy bursts from defence, setting up numerous scores.

6 John Ryan (Loughmore-Castleiney)

A powerful presence on the half-back-line, showing great power for a brilliant first half point.

7 Jonathan Commins (Ardee St Mary's)

Clipped a crucial late score, and also showed composure in possession in the dying stages with St Loman's pushing for an equaliser.

8 Peter Clarke (Castletown-Geoghegan)

Gave an inspirational display as Castletown-Geoghegan's brilliant club season came to an end against Kilcormac Killoughey, scoring 0-3, including one line ball. He also scored another line-ball that was wrongly ruled out.

9 Jack Meagher (Na Fianna)

Came up with important scores in Na Fianna's win over St Martin's, with his pace and energy around the middle standing out.

10 Ruairi Canavan (Errigal Ciaran)

Hit nine points, including five from play in a tight game. His two late points from play, off right and left, were leadership personified.

11 Ciaran Keenan (Ardee St Mary's)

Caused all sorts of problems for St Loman's with his pace and guile in possession, scoring 0-4, including two from play and one mark.

12 Peter Duffy (Cuala)

Was on hand for the crucial goal before kicking a vital late point in their win over Tullamore.

13 Adam Screeney (Kilcormac Killoughey)

It would be easy to say that the heavy conditions don't suit Screeney but he digs in, winning frees and clusters. His late goal was a touch of class and he was unerring on the frees, hitting 1-8.

14 Niall O'Brien (Castletown-Geoghegan)

His sharpshooting continued, hitting three from play and three frees. Has had a tremendous year.

15 Con O'Callaghan (Cuala)

Scored three of the finest points from play as Cuala qualified for their first Leinster club football final.
