Mayo footballer Lee Keegan and Tipperary hurler Seamus Callanan have been named the Opel GAA/GPA Players of the Month for August.
Two-time All-Star defender Keegan picked up the award after a stunning performance in the wing-back position, producing a man of the match display, scoring an impressive 1-02, as the Connacht champions knocked out Donegal by 2-13 to 0-11 in the All-Ireland quarter-final.
Keegan also put in a stellar shift as Mayo fought back from seven points down to earn a draw with Dublin in the semi-final, pitching in with 0-01 before his side went on to lose in the replay.
Despite losing the game, Tipperary’s Callanan was undoubtedly the best player on the pitch in his side’s epic semi-final clash with Galway.
The Drom & Inch marksman scored an astounding 3-09 - 3-04 of which came from play - picking up the man of the match award for his performance.
Despite the efforts of the full-forward, the defeat marked the end of the Premier County's championship season, with Galway debutant Shane Maloney scoring the winning point in the dying moments.
