Coen back as captain as Mayo make seven changes for Division 2 clash with Meath

Mayo welcome the Royal County to Castlebar on Sunday.

MAYO MANAGER JAMES Horan has made seven changes to the team that beat Westmeath for Sunday’s Allianz National League Division 2 meeting with Meath in Castlebar.

Eoin O’Donoghue comes into the full-back line while Stephen Coen returns to captain the side at centre-back, with Fergal Boland named at wing-back.

Horan keeps faith in the midfield partnership of Matthew Ruane and Diarmuid Connor.

Darren McHale is named at centre-forward with Brian Walsh coming into the team at wing-forward.

Cillian O’Connor retains his place at full-forward, but is joined by Paul Towey and James Carr.

Mayo are looking to keep their 100% record in Division 2 intact following their 0-21 to 2-12 defeat of Westmeath last time out.

Meath are due to name their team for the game on Saturday morning.
