Mayo manager Kevin McStay announces team for Connacht Final

The Mayo senior football team to face Galway in Sunday's Connacht final has been revealed, with one key player returning from a long-term injury.

Mayo will be looking to end the drought in Connacht, by their lofty standards, and stop the momentum of the Tribesmen as they gun for a historic four-in-a-row.

SPORTS GUIDE: Five Mayo events to watch this weekend

Kevin McStay and his backroom team have decided to keep the faith with the team from the last-four victory over Leitrim, with the same fifteen from that Carrick-on-Shannon joust listed for Sunday’s decider.

An inclusion among the substitutes is the familiar face of Paddy Durcan. The Castlebar Mitchels clubman hasn't been seen in the Green and Red by fans for some time. Also back from the recovery table is Westport man Rory Brickenden.

The team is as follows:

Mayo: Colm Reape; Jack Coyne, Donnacha McHugh, Enda Hession; Sam Callinan; David McBrien, Stephen Coen; Dylan Thornton, Matthew Ruane; Davitt Neary; Darren McHale, Jordan Flynn; Aidan O’Shea, Jack Carney, Ryan O’Donoghue.

Subs: Adrian Phillips, Conal Dawson, Conor Reid, Diarmuid O’Connor, Fenton Kelly, Fergal Boland, Frank Irwin, Kevin Quinn, Paddy Durcan, Paul Towey, Rory Brickenden 

As always, we’ll have all the action from the landmark event here, as well as in Tuesday’s edition of The Mayo News.
