Donegal's Ryan McHugh has been awarded the PwC GAA/GPA Player of the Month for April.

The Kilcar native played a pivotal role in securing two exhilarating victories during last month's Ulster Football championship.

Paul Mannion of Dublin and Ryan O'Donoghue of Mayo were among the other nominees for the accolade.
