With the first round of the Allianz Football League now complete, we select five teams who enjoyed good weekends and pick out the reasons why they can be pleased with their start to the campaign. <br />
<br />
KILDARE<br />
As well as a last-gasp victory over Mayo in the opening game of their Allianz Football League Division I campaign, manager Jason Ryan confirmed after the game that 36-year-old Johnny Doyle has committed to one more season in Lilywhite colours. The Allenwood clubman is a Kildare legend, still one of the fittest men in the game and will no doubt be a key for player in what will be his 15th campaign in the all-white jersey.<br />
Although still very early in the season, a tidy win over last year’s All-Ireland finalists was also the perfect start to competitive life under new manager Ryan, who picks up the reins after Kieran McGeeney’s six-year spell in charge.<br />
Most pleasing, though, were the performances of match-winner Paddy Brophy, who scored six points from play, and Darroch Mulhall, who contributed three. For a team often labeled as being blunt in attack, these two tyros could be key in 2014.<br />
<br />
WICKLOW<br />
The Garden County recorded a comfortable 3-13 to 1-8 opening round victory over London at Aughrim, but the best news of all for Wicklow supporters was seeing talisman Leighton Glynn hit 3-3 on his return from very serious injury.<br />
Due to a complication in his recovery from an ankle injury sustained in a Leinster first round game against Meath in May 2012, Glynn missed the entire 2013 championship campaign. Seeing him return to action in such sparking fashion will gladden the hearts of the Wicklow faithful after a demoralising season in his absence.<br />
<br />
DONEGAL<br />
A resounding 13-point victory over Laois in their first game in Division II - could the 2012 All-Ireland champions be on the march again? All the signs are that Jim McGuinness is taking the Allianz League very seriously this year after relegation to the second tier.<br />
At Portlaoise on Sunday, Donegal gave an impressive show of strength, which should make all their rivals stand up and take notice. They blitzed the O’Moore men with a stunning Colm McFadden goal just after the break and pounded their opponents into submission.<br />
Rather ominously, afterwards McGuinness said: “We’re in a better position than we probably have been in the four years in terms of where players are. Both old and young.”<br />
<br />
MEATH<br />
Conceded four goals against Galway but won a superb game deservedly with a superb tally of 3-18. After more than two years out through injury, Shane O'Rourke back looking fit and healthy is also very positive news for Meath.<br />
<br />
LEITRIM<br />
The challenge for Leitrim in 2013 after winning the FBD League was to put a promotion drive together from Division IV, and they didn't do that. Their fine win over Antrim on Sunday, a game they have targeted ever since Seán O’Hagan took over as their new manager, suggests they are capable of doing that in 2014.<br />
BB

Well done Gary on making the <br />
HS team of the week . <br />
After the shadow boxing of the subsidiary competitions, the gaelic football season got serious over the weekend. We pick our top performers from across the four football league divisions.<br />
<br />
1. Rob Hennelly (Mayo)<br />
<br />
The Mayo netminder sent over three 45s in Newbridge and can consider himself unfortunate to have ended up on the losing side.<br />
<br />
2. Donal Keogan (Meath)<br />
<br />
Keogan got amongst Meath's 14 scorers but it was his defensive display which saw him stand out against Galway.<br />
<br />
3. Neil McGee (Donegal)<br />
<br />
The Donegal full-back and his defensive team-mates kept the Laois attack well under wraps in Portlaoise.<br />
<br />
4. Philly McMahon (Dublin)<br />
<br />
Dublin got the defence of their league title off to a winning start on Saturday evening and McMahon was the pick of their full-back line.<br />
<br />
5. Tiernan Rossiter (Wexford)<br />
<br />
Rossiter's 22nd minute goal sent Wexford on the road to a Division 3 victory over Offaly in New Ross.<br />
<br />
6. Gary Reynolds (Leitrim)<br />
<br />
Reynolds was a central figure for the Connacht county as they continued their winning ways against Antrim.<br />
<br />
7. Fergal Flanagan (Cavan)<br />
<br />
A 62nd minute goal by Flanagan broke Fermanagh's resistance in the Ulster derby at Kingspan Breffni Park.<br />
<br />
8. Aidan Walsh (Cork)<br />
<br />
Walsh dominated the midfield proceedings in Pairc Ui Rinn and provided the ammunition for his forwards to sink Westmeath.<br />
<br />
9. Paddy Keenan (Louth)<br />
<br />
The former All Star was outstanding as the Wee County raced into a nine-point lead but had to settle for a share of the spoils at the final whistle.<br />
<br />
10. Stefan Campbell (Armagh)<br />
<br />
Half-forward Campbell played a prominent role in the Orchard County's Lazarus-like comeback.<br />
<br />
11. Christy Toye (Donegal)<br />
<br />
Donegal have been boosted by Christy Toye's return to competitive action and he put in an industrious shift against Laois.<br />
<br />
12. Enda Lynn (Derry)<br />
<br />
Lynn put his name to three points as Derry and Ulster rivals Tyrone played out an draw in Celtic Park on Saturday evening.<br />
<br />
13. Paddy Brophy (Kildare)<br />
<br />
Brophy's match-winning point was a thing of beauty and he terrorised the Mayo defence throughout the 70 minutes in Newbridge.<br />
<br />
14. Leighton Glynn (Wicklow)<br />
<br />
The Rathnew man reminded Wicklow supporters of what they have been missing the past two years with 3-3 against London in Aughrim.<br />
<br />
15. Conor Sweeney (Tipperary)<br />
<br />
Sweeney hit 1-8 (1-6 from play) as Peter Creedon's Tipperary side inflicted a 19-point defeat on Carlow at Dr Cullen Park.

<br />
Emlyn Mulligan captained Leitrim to back-to-back FBD League successes after a thrilling victory over neighbours Roscommon.<br />
<br />
The home supporters who braved the atrocious weather at Pairc Sean MacDiarmada witnessed history in the making as it was Leitrim's first time ever to retain a title in any grade.<br />
<br />
They got themselves into a great position to lead by 1-3 to 0-3 at half-time after playing against the wind and hailstones. Aaron Hickey gave them the perfect start when he found the net in the sixth minute after Roscommon 'keeper Darren O'Malley had done well to keep out Ray Cox's initial shot.<br />
<br />
Half back Wayne McKeon kicked two points to give Gerry Hagan's men the advantage at the break.<br />
<br />
Roscommon resumed with scores from the Murtagh brothers, Diarmuid and Ciaran, only for Fergal Clancy and Cox to reply for the holders.<br />
<br />
In a frenetic finish, Emlyn Mulligan and Tomas Beirne combined to set up John Mulligan for Leitrim's second goal, which put them five points clear with four minutes remaining. But they were left hanging on for the win after a late Niall Daly goal and a Cathal Cregg free left the minimum in it.

Leitrim, Sligo and Roscommon recorded wins in the FBD League, while beaten All-Ireland finalists Mayo were held to a draw by IT Sligo this afternoon.<br />
<br />
Reigning FBD League champions Leitrim maintained their unbeaten start to the year, with a hard-earned 1-10 to 2-06 win over Galway in Ballinasloe.<br />
<br />
Galway edged a 0-05 to 0-04 interval lead, with Danny Cummins and Mark Hehir among those on target for the hosts.<br />
<br />
Leitrim took the lead early on the restart thanks to scores from Emlyn Mulligan and James Clancy.<br />
<br />
Cox netted soon after to open up a 1-07 to 0-06 lead, but Ian Burke replied with a three-pointer for Galway.<br />
<br />
A Michael Martin goal pushed Galway to a 2-06 to 1-08 lead, but Leitrim finished strongly with Mulligan scoring two vital points late on.<br />
