David Clifford and Seán O'Shea on Kerry bench for Mayo clash

The sides meet in Castlebar tomorrow night.

DAVID CLIFFORD AND Seán O’Shea are named on the Kerry bench for tomorrow’s Allianz football league clash against Mayo.

Jack O’Connor keeps changes to a minimum for the trip to MacHale Park [throw-in 7.30pm, live on TG4], with Paudie Clifford in from the start.

The older Clifford brother impressed in the win over Monaghan two weeks ago, bagging 1-1 as a second-half substitute, and he returns to the half-forward line in place of Adrian Spillane.

Tadhg Morley will captain the All-Ireland champions and Division 1 league holders in Castlebar.

Mayo manager Kevin McStay has made two changes to the starting team that drew with Armagh last time out. 

Diarmuid O’Connor and Donnacha McHugh are both in from the get-to, with Jack Coyne and Jack Carney the players to make way.

Stephen Coen will be captain on the day.

While Kerry listed their full 26, the Green and Red just revealed their starters.
