Mayo will play their best available team for this.
Gavin has kept some of his front runners such as Kevin mc and Flynn in reserve so far in order to try out some of the fringe players.
No Cooper, Mannion, James mcCarthy, Andrews, Costello on the travelling squad to Donegal – presumably all injured along side lads like Cian, Berno, Connolly who presumably won’t be back for a few more weeks.
Quite possibly (should we miss out on the league final) , after sunday, we may only have one more game in Croke Park before the end of June – Roscommon at home
Mayo team from the Rossies game below - strong enough and with 6 points coming from the bench. Doubt we’ll keep the ball kicked out to them.
MAYO: D Clarke; D Newcombe, D Vaughan (0-1), K Higgins; S Coen, C Boyle, P Durcan; J Gibbons (0-1), D O’Connor (0-1); F Boland (0-2), C O’Connor (1-4, 1-0 pen, one free), C O’Shea (0-1); A Moran (0-1), K McLoughlin (0-1), E Regan (0-1, one free).
Subs: L Keegan (0-2) for C Boyle (BC), B Harrison (0-2) for D Vaughan, M Plunkett for C O’Shea, S Nally for F Boland, C Loftus (0-2) for A Moran
Think the unbeaten record could very well go this weekend. We’re not really playing at level required plus likelihood that Jack Mc will be out along with James Mc. Few of our established players not hitting the mark either with only Scully of fringe players showing he can make a difference at this level
The unbeaten record ain’t hugely important but losing it to this shower won’t be pleasant. Better than losing it to Kerry in Kerry I guess
