Mayo have made two changes for this Sunday's All-Ireland Ladies SFC quarter-final against Armagh. Throw-in time is at 5.45pm in the BOX-IT Athletic Grounds, Armagh.
Both changes are in attack as Sinéad Cafferky and Aoife Staunton replace Fiona McHale and Sinead Walsh.
The green and red bounced back from defeat to Dublin to see off Kildare and book a place in the last eight.
When Armagh and Mayo met in Division 1 of the Lidl National League this year, Mackin scored 1-7 as they won by 2-9 to 2-8.
This one promises to be equally as tight and Mayo will aim to reach the semi-finals for a fourth successive season.
Without Aimee Mackin, who was ruled out through injury before throw-in, Armagh fell at the quarter-final stage against Cork last year.
Fast forward to now and the Orchard County will have to do without their brilliant forward again after she sustained a serious knee injury in the Ulster final victory over Donegal.
Without Mackin, Armagh still managed to navigate the group stages of the All-Ireland series to set up a home quarter-final with Mayo.
The Armagh starting team shows three changes in personnel, as Caroline O’Hanlon, Sarah Quigley and Niamh Reel replace Eve Lavery, Blaithín Mackin and Meabh McCambridge.
The game will be broadcast live on TG4 and Midwest Radio, with commentary from Stephen Grealis and Sinead Stagg.
