DUBLIN HAVE NAMED an unchanged side for tonight’s trip to face Mayo in Castlebar.
The All-Ireland champions defeated Donegal by five points two weeks ago and Jim Gavin has chosen to stick with the same 15 for their first clash against Mayo since last September.
Stephen Cluxton will reach a century of league appearances for the county, but he’s still some way behind overall leader John O’Leary who finished his career with 127 games in the competition.
Bernard Brogan underwent surgery on a torn cruciate recently and will miss the remainder of the season, while there has been speculation that Diarmuid Connolly and Paul Flynn will make their seasonal debuts off the bench tonight.
Stephen Rochford named the Mayo team last night, with Andy Moran and Rob Hennelly drafted into the side.

Can’t even comment… It was. Just so poor…
Poor yea , conditions didn’t help ! Your clubmate had a good game in the centre
Thought him everything he knows skippy… Didn’t teach him everything I know tho :-)
Good win on the road for Clare today.It was a difficult one without a number of key players, conditions and with wexford beaten by so much last wk end they were always going to be difficult to beat in wexford.
Whatever about conditions, first touch very poor both sides. Only positive for clare is they have players to come back.
So do Wexford…
But they don’t have a hurler of the year to come back along with podge Collins
As a wexford man,beginning to really get fed up when we can’t beat a top level team.apart from Clare two years ago,Waterford Limerick cork have all come to wexford park in a do or die match and we are coming out on the wrong side of them
How come wexford can’t seem to beat a so called top level team?apart from Clare in 2014,waterford cork and limerick have all travelled to wexford park and came out on top in so called do or die matches.
Maybe because they’re not good enough to do so eh?.. Just a thought….
How come wexford are struggling to beat any sort of top level team.we beat Clare in 2014 when they were all ireland champions but since then waterford limerick and cork have all travelled to their own backyard in so called do or die matches and have failed every time.
Wexford just haven’t got lads up to the standard. Tis alright winning at under 21 Leinster and getting to the All Ireland final, it takes three to four years to blossom into senior, and the Limerick team of the early 2000′s shows that may not even happen either.
