KERRY AND MAYO have named unchanged starting teams for their respective Division 1 Allianz football league clashes this weekend.
Jack O’Connor’s All-Ireland champions and league holders face Tyrone at Healy Park, Omagh on Sunday afternoon [12.45pm], while Kevin McStay’s Mayo travel to Dr Hyde Park to lock horns with Roscommon [2.45pm]. Both games will be live on TG4.
O’Connor keeps the faith in the starters that ground out a one-point victory over Armagh in Killarney last time out. Stefan Okunbar, a late addition to the 15 against the Orchard county, retains his position in defence.
