Mayo make three changes for vital clash with Roscommon

Mayo manager Stephen Rochford makes three changes to the side that lost to Kerry two weeks ago for the critical trip to Hyde Park to take on Roscommon. Cathal Barrett, Conor Loftus and Evan Regan start on Sunday in place of Donal Vaughan, Cathal Carolan and Kevin McLaughlin.

Barrett and Regan were named for the Kerry match but replaced before the throw-in by Vaughan and Carolan. The counties haven’t met in the league for 15 years since Mayo won the 2001 semi-final en route to winning the title.

Cork have named an unchanged side for the visit of bottom-placed Down on Sunday. A win will steer Peadar Healy’s team away from the relegation zone and maybe position them for the semi-finals whereas Down’s relegation would be confirmed should they lose.

In Division Two, Cavan have also named an unchanged line-up for the match against Laois in which a win would maintain their promotion push.
