Mayo U-20 team to contest All-Ireland ‘B’ semi-final named

MAYO U-20 manager Peadar Gardiner has named an unchanged team to face Down in the semi-final of the Liam Connor Cup.

While there are no changes to the starting team that won the Philly McGuinness Cup last month, Mayo have made a number of positional switches to their starting fifteen. 

Team captain Seán Morahan moves from centre-back to midfield while Diarmuid Duffy reverts from midfield to wing-back with Conal Dawson switching from midfield to the half-forward line. 

Mayo contested the Philly McGuinness Cup after finishing bottom of their round robin group in the Connacht U-20 Championship. 

The winners of tomorrow's semi-final will face Westmeath in the final of the EirGrid GAA Football All-Ireland U20 B Championship.

The game is fixed for a 1pm throw-in on Sunday, May 12 at Kingspan Breffni Park, Cavan.

The Mayo team to face Down in the All-Ireland U-20 B Championship semi-final is as follows: David Dolan (Balla); Paul Gilmore (Claremorris), Eoin McGreal (Garrymore); David Slattery (Claremorris), Diarmuid Duffy (Ballinrobe), John MacMonagle (Castlebar Mitchels); Jack Mulchrone (Kilmeena); Jack Melvin (Davitts), Sean Morahan (captain) (Castlebar Mitchels); Finbar McLaughlin (Westport), Tom O’Flaherty (Aghamore), Conal Dawson (Westport), Darragh Beirne (Claremorris), Oisín Cronin (Balla), Cathal Keaveney (Parke Keelogues Crimlin)
