Mayo name team for Dublin clash

Mayo manager James Horan has made seven changes to his team for round three of the Allianz National Football League against Dublin this weekend at Croke Park.

Fresh from his  All-Ireland Junior Football Final victory, Kilmeena's Jack Carney comes into the team at wing forward replacing NUI Galway Sigerson winner Fionn McDonagh.

The other change in attack sees UL Sigerson corner forward Paul Towey replace Jason Doherty. Rory Brickenden replaced Padraig O'Hora at full back with Donncha McHugh replacing Paddy Durcan in the half back line.

Saturday evening's game will be Mayo's 52nd appearance in Croke Park in the league. The match will be live on RTE 2 and live commentary on Midwest Radio.
