Mayo GAA joint hurling managers Brian Finn and Ray Larkin have made eight changes for tomorrow's National Hurling League opener against Armagh in Hastings Insurance MacHale Park (1pm).
Most of the Tooreen contingent are now back in full training and the management have wasted little time in bolstering their side. Bobby Douglas starts in goals ahead of Davog Frayne, Danny Hill (Ballyhaunis) comes into the full-back line with Luke Connor and Conor Murray either side of him. Senior hurling captain David Kenny slots into centre back with Conal Hession and former Clare footballer Eoghan Collins making up a strong back line.
Daniel Huane will now partner John Heraty at midfield while upfront Liam Lavin and Sean Kenny come into the team. Cormac Phillips will operate on the edge of the square against Armagh with Oisin Greally, Adrian Phillips and Eoin Delaney all named in the new look attack.
Caymon Flynn, from Westmeath, is down to officiate at the game.
Midwest Radio will have coverage from 1pm with live commentary from Michael D McAndrew and Sean O'Raghallaigh.
Mayo GAA will have live updates on all social media platforms on Sunday.
