Kilcar duo Ryan McHugh and Patrick McBrearty have been selected for the GAA.ie Football Team of the Week following their impressive performances against Clare in Castlebar which saw Jim McGuinness's side progress on a 2-23 to 0-5 scoreline.

The defender also contributed an additional four points from play, while his teammate was equally effective.
