LAST UPDATE | 10 Aug 2019
THE MAYO AND Dublin sides for their All-Ireland semi-final showdown at Croke Park this evening have been named [throw-in 5pm, live on RTÉ 2 and Sky Sports Arena].
James Horan has made two changes to the Westerners’ starting team that beat Donegal last weekend with Kevin McLoughlin and Fergal Boland both starting.
Jason Doherty — who suffered a gut-wrenching ACL injury last time out — and Keith Higgins are the players to make way.
Dublin have also confirmed their side for the all-important clash with David Byrne, Cian O’Sullivan and Michael Fitzsimons forming the full-back line. Brian Fenton and Michael Darragh MacAuley start in midfield.
A leaked image of the programme sees Diarmuid Connolly make the bench with Bernard Brogan, Rory O’Carroll and Eoghan O’Gara missing out — but there’s been no official confirmation of the 26-man squad from Jim Gavin’s camp.
It also shows Philly McMahon and Jonny Cooper held in reserve.
