LAST UPDATE | 2 hrs ago

LOUTH AND MAYO have both made one change to their starting teams for Saturday’s All-Ireland SFC semi-final meeting in Croke Park [throw-in, 6pm].

After defeating Cork in the quarter-final, Mayo are bringing Conor Loftus into their attack to replace Paul Towey.

Fenton Kelly replaces Diarmuid Duffy among the subs after Duffy picked up an injury against Cork, while Paddy Durcan and Diarmuid O’Connor come in for John MacMonagle and Fergal Boland.

Louth’s switch from their quarter-final defeat of Monaghan sees Paul Matthews come into the Louth midfield, replacing the suspended Seán Callaghan.

Louth Senior Football manager Gavin Devlin has named his panel for Saturday’s All-Ireland Semi-Final meeting with Mayo at Croke Park (6pm).
