Division One leaders Mayo take on Dublin tomorrow evening in Castlebar in their first home match under lights this season. The team management shuffles the deck from the win against Derry, bringing in five players including goalkeeper Robbie Hennelly, who takes over again from Kenneth O’Malley.
All Star Cillian O’Connor is injured and is replaced by Alan Freeman. Otherwise Patrick Durcan, Donal Vaughan - back from injury - and Diarmuid O’Connor all come in for Ger Cafferkey, Danny Kirby and Micheál Forde respectively.
All-Ireland champions Kerry reprise last year's final against Donegal in Tralee on Sunday. Manager Eamonn Fitzmaurice makes three changes to the team walloped by Cork a week ago.
All Star Peter Crowley and Killian Young are brought into the half-back line with Paul Murphy, another All Star, switched to corner back and last year’s captain Fionn Fitzgerald and Jack Sherwood dropping to the bench. Up front Paul Geaney returns from injury and replaces his cousin Michael Geaney, who has a back strain.
Cork make just one change for their trip to Omagh to take on Tyrone. Goalkeeper Ken O’Halloran is rested and Micheál Martin, son of the Fianna Fáil leader and UCC Sigerson goalkeeper, takes over for what is his league debut.
Tyrone manager Mickey Harte makes three changes to the team that was unlucky not to beat Dublin at Croke Park last weekend. All of these are forced with corner back Cathal McCarron unable to play because of a hamstring injury. His place for Sunday’s match against Cork in Omagh goes to Dwayne Quinn.
Barry Tierney damaged his ankle against Dublin and is replaced by Ryan McKenna at left wing forward whereas Cathal McShane has been released to the undr-21s and his place at left corner forward goes to Connor McAliskey.
After their record points total of 34 against Dublin in last week's league encounter in Croke Park Cork hurlers rotate a few players for Sunday's trip to Galway in Division One A of the Allianz Hurling League.
Full back Christopher Joyce is out for the season with a damaged cruciate ligament and his place goes to Stephen McDonnell. All of the other four changes are to allow manager Jimmy Barry-Murphy and his selectors take a look at some different players.
On the bench this weekend will be both Luke O’Farrell and Rob O’Shea, who each shot four points from play. Their places go to Brian Lawton and Paudie O’Sullivan, at wing forward and full forward respectively.
At left corner back William Kearney comes in for Conor O'Sullivan and the other change sees Stephen Moylan replace Alan Cadogan at right corner forward. Cork sit on top of the division table with four points and a scoring difference of 19, ahead of Dublin, Galway and Tipperary on the same points' total.
