Mayo GAA senior football manager Kevin McStay has made two changes to his team ahead of their Allianz Round 4 National Football League game against Tyrone this tomorrow, Saturday February 25th at 7:00pm at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park.
Jack Coyne from Ballyhaunis GAA returns to the starting team and replaces Westport's Rory Brickenden in defence . Brickenden picked up a knock late in the game against Kerry. The other change sees Bob Tuohy from Castlebar Mitchells named to start ahead of Kilmeena's Jack Carney. Tuohy was named to start against Kerry also, but Carney replaced him just before the throw in.
Colm Reape continues in goal with Coyne now partnered by David McBrien at full-back and Enda Hession in the other corner. Stephen Coen, Conor Loftus and the impressive Donnacha McHugh make up the half-back line.
Matthew Ruane from Breaffy GAA and Diarmuid O'Connor from Ballintubber GAA continue a formidable midfield partnership. Upfront man-of-the-match against Kerry Jordan Flynn is once again named with Bob Tuohy and Fionn McDonagh completing the half forward line. McStay has kept faith with the inside forward line for the third weekend in a row with Aiden O'Shea, James Carr and Ryan O'Donoghue all named to start. Stephen Coen will captain the team on the day. Man in the middle will be Cavan's Noel Mooney.
The game is live on TG4 with radio commentary on Midwest radio with Michael D McAndrew and Michael Conroy.
