Galway footballer Paul Conroy and Waterford hurler Austin Gleeson have been named the GAA/GPA Opel Players of the Month for June.

The players were both pivotal in leading their counties to provincial finals.

Conroy delivered a commanding midfield performance against Mayo last month, a display recognised by his fellow players and one that helped deny Galway's fiercest rivals the opportunity of a sixth successive Connacht SFC title. The Tribesmen will once again bid to claim the crown in Sunday's final replay with Roscommon.

A man-of-the-match semi-final display against Clare from  Gleeson helped secure a Munster final place for the Déise.

The Mount Sion star produced an outstanding performance scoring six points as his side avenged their League final replay defeat to the same opposition.

After a disappointing final, however, Waterford will be bidding to reignite their championship campaign against Wexford in the All-Ireland quarter-final on the 24th July.
