MAYO BOSS JAMES Horan has made four changes for Sunday’s Connacht SFC football final.

The Connacht champions are bidding for a provincial four-in-a-row when they take on Galway in Castlebar (2pm).

In a strong side, Horan has named 13 of the 15 players who started in last year’s All-Ireland final defeat against Dublin.

Tom Cunniffe’s failure to recover from an Achilles’ injury sees Chris Barrett come in at corner-back to make his first competitive start of the season.

Barry Moran is fit to line out in midfield, a move which sees Aidan O’Shea push up to replace Conor O’Shea at centre-forward.

Captain Andy Moran and Alan Dillon — both of whom were second-half subs in the semi-final win over Roscommon — start in the full-forward line in place of Diarmuid O’Connor and Alan Freeman.
