No Diarmuid O'Connor, but Mayo name experienced side for London trip

Mayo begin their provincial defence with a trip to Ruislip on Sunday.

STEPHEN ROCHFORD HAS stuck with 10 of the side that lost last year’s All-Ireland semi-final replay as Mayo begin their quest for a Connacht six-in-a-row.

Corner-forward Evan Regan is the only debutant for Sunday’s quarter-final against London in Ruislip.

Regan, Brendan Harrison, Kevin Keane, Jason Gibbons and Conor O’Shea are the five who did not feature against Dublin last September.

Young Footballer of the Year Diarmuid O’Connor has been ruled out with a hamstring problem while Barry Moran and Chris Barrett also miss out due to injury.

But Tom Parsons has been given the green light and is named to start in midfield alongside Gibbons.

Seamus O’Shea, Andy Moran and Alan Dillon are all named among the substitutes.

The winners will play Galway on 18 June.
