IF IT AIN’T broke, don’t fix it. Mayo manager James Horan has named an unchanged side for Sunday’s All-Ireland football semi-final against Tyrone in Croke Park.
With no fresh injuries to worry about, Mayo start as they did three weekends ago when they romped to a 16-point win over Donegal and established themselves as firm favourites to succeed the champions on the throne.
Rob Hennelly remains in goal although Kenneth O’Malley has recovered from the ankle injury which ruled him out of the last two games and is fit to take his place on the bench.
Andy Moran again captains the side from corner-forward with rumours that the Ballaghaderreen man had suffered an injury set-back in training apparently unfounded.

As expected following his success against Donegal, Keith Higgins is named not in defence but in the half-forward line where he is likely to be tasked with marking Tyrone threat Peter Harte.
Mickey Harte is expected to name his Tyrone team after training later this evening.

Without hat-tricks I’d still be fighting to impress, says red-hot Cillian O’Connor
