TOM PARSONS HAS been named at midfield in the only personnel change to the Mayo team to play Dublin in Sunday’s All-Ireland senior football final against Dublin at Croke Park (3.30pm).

Charlestown’s Parsons, who was introduced as a substitute in the semi-final win over Tipperary, has been given the nod to start ahead of Castlebar Mitchels player Barry Moran by manager Stephen Rochford.

Cillian O’Connor will captain the team as they aim to deny Dublin a second consecutive title and bring the Sam Maguire back to Mayo for the first time since 1951.
