DIARMUID O’CONNOR WILL join Stephen Coen in the Mayo midfield for tomorrow’s Round 3 qualifier against Kildare in Newbridge.

Stephen Rochford is without both of his first-choice midfielders with Seamus O’Shea joining Tom Parsons on the long-term injury list, and O’Connor comes back in as the only change to the side which beat Tipperary last weekend.

Cian O’Neill makes two changes of his own to the side which dug out a late victory over Longford in Round 2 last Saturday night.

Johnny Byrne comes in at wing-back in place of Moorefield’s James Murray, while Kevin Feely is named to start alongside Tommy Moolick in midfield, with Niall Kelly missing out in the reshuffle.

Throw-in at St Conleth’s Park is at 7pm.
