DUBLIN MANAGER DESSIE Farrell has made two changes to his side which drew with Kerry for Saturday’s Allianz Football League meeting with Mayo at Elverys MacHale Park, Castlebar (7pm).
Rory O’Carroll is named at left full-back in place of Philly McMahon, while Paul Mannion comes into the forwards. The latter had been named to start last weekend but was replaced before throw-in by Conor McHugh.
Dublin beat Mayo twice last year, cruising to victory in their league clash on a score of 1-12 to 0-7 before romping home in their All-Ireland semi-final, 3-14 to 1-10.
