Leitrim's Keith Beirne named on GAA Team of the Week for third week in a row

Leitrim's Keith Beirne has been named on the GAA.ie's Team of the Week for the third week in a row after the Mohill man landed ten points in the Green & Gold's Allianz NFL Division 4 defeat at the hands of Wexford in Chadwicks Wexford Park on Sunday.

Beirne has been selected on all three teams of the week by GAA.ie, the only player to make all three teams, on foot of another ten point haul against The Model County, four from frees and one mark. Wexford goalkeeper Darragh Brooks, who scored four long range frees, also made the team of the week.

Laois' Paul Kingston is the only other Division 4 player to earn his place on the prestigious weekly award with 13 counties in all represented on the team.
