PADDY DURCAN WILL be held in reserve for Mayo as they take on Dublin in the All-Ireland SFC final for a third time in 12 months.
Stephen Rochford has named the same team that defeated Kerry in the semi-final replay, while it shows 13 survivors from last year’s All-Ireland final replay defeat.
Castlebar Mitchels defender Durcan has impressed off the bench in recent games, kicking the equalising point in the drawn semi-final against Kerry. But he’ll have to be content with a place on the bench, as Rochford opts to employ the DCU student as an impact substitute.
Here’s how they’re set to start.
