Moran rings the changes for Dublin clash

Mayo manager Andy Moran has made four changes to his starting team for this weekend’s league clash against Dublin in MacHale Park.

Team captain Jack Coyne starts at right-corner back in place of Eoin McGreal, who went off injured in the first half of last Sunday’s win over Galway in Salthill.

Paddy Durcan, who came on for McGreal in that game, starts at centre-half back in place of Michael Plunkett.

Rory Brickenden, who was a late withdrawal last week due to illness, returns at full-back. Stephen Coen, who was brought in to replace Brickenden in Salthill, is moved to left-half back in the stead of Seán Morahan.

The fourth change sees Ardagh’s James Carr replace Aidan O’Shea at full-forward.

On the bench there are notable returns from injury layoffs for Donnacha McHugh and Diarmuid O’Connor.

The game against the Dubs, who lost their opening round clash with Donegal, throws in at 1.30pm.

Tickets can be purchased from selected Centra and Super Valu shops and online here.
