Changes to Mayo Ladies team for crucial clash with Tyrone

AS Mayo Ladies go in search of three badly-needed points, team manager Liam McHale has made changes to his team for Sunday's National Football League Division 1 clash with Tyrone in Swinford Amenity Park.

Both sides have had disappointing starts to the campaign and go into Sunday's game on the back of two defeats, therefore the result is critical if Mayo are to have any hope of avoiding a relegation dogfight.

McHale's side lost to Dublin in the opening round in Parnell Park and were defeated by Meath in Navan last Monday, so the Green and Red are looking forward to their first contest on home soil this season. Tyrone have struggled in the early rounds since being promoted from Division 2 last season and anything other than a home win will be a surprise.

Mayo are hoping a large crowd turns up on Sunday and have been promoting the game all week.
