Mayo senior football manager Kevin McStay has made four changes to his team for their Allianz National Football League Round 4 game against Tyrone tomorrow at 5.15pm at O’Neill’s Healy Park, Omagh.
Rob Hennelly returns between the posts in place of Colm Reape with Stephen Coen and Enda Hession named to start ahead of David McBrien and Eoghan McLaughlin.
Ballinrobe’s Diarmuid Duffy comes in for Bob Tuohy.
Diarmuid O’Connor and Jack Carney continue at midfield.
Up front Aghamore’s Fergal Boland and Jordan Flynn are named in the half forward line.
Regulars Aidan O’Shea and Ryan O’Donoghue will lead the inside line with Tommy Conroy who will captain the team on the day.
Meetings between the counties are relatively recent, they didn’t meet for the first time in the league until 1974 in Castlebar.
However since then they have been regular opponents and this weekend’s game will be the 32nd league meeting between the counties. Honours have been evenly shared between them, with Mayo winning 12, Tyrone 13 and 6 games drawn. Saturday’s game will be the 10th time they have met in Omagh.
Kildare referee Brendan Cawley is the man in the middle for Saturday’s game.
Live commentary on Midwest radio with Michael D McAndrew and Austin O’Malley. RTÉ will have live coverage beginning at 5pm. Mayo GAA will have live updates across all social media channels on Saturday.
