Horan hands out league debut among three changes in Mayo side to face All-Ireland finalists

JAMES HORAN HAS named three changes in the Mayo side that will take on All-Ireland finalists Tyrone this Sunday in Division 1 of the Allianz football league [Healy Park, 2.30pm]

Ballina Stephenites forward Ciaran Treacy has been handed a league debut to start at half-forward while James McCormack and Fionn McDonagh have also been drafted into the side.

Both McCormack and McDonagh came off the bench in Mayo’s first-round clash with Roscommon and both have been promoted to the starting team for their trip to Omagh this weekend.

McCormack has been selected in the half-back line alongside Lee Keegan and Paddy Durcan while McDonagh picks up the number 10 jersey.

Colm Boyle, Fergal Boland and Evan Regan are the three players who lose out.
