The Mayo side to face Dublin in the allianz Football League at Croke Park, on Sunday evening, has been named.

Sigerson Cup winners with DIT, Aidan O'Shea and Jason Doherty have been included, with O'Shea named at centre forward, while Doherty will start at full forward.

The beaten All Ireland finalists are still without Alan Dillon and Cillian O'Connor, who are recovering from injury lay-offs.

Although he misses out this weekend through injury, Ballintubber’s Cillian O'Connor spoke with Newstalk and gave us an insight into what the atmosphere around the Mayo camp is like at the moment, where lessons are still being learned from their early season games.

Cillian was speaking to Newstalk's Dave McIntyre and he started off by telling Dave how the Mayo team are finding life at the start of a new year that has already seen them take a win over Kerry and suffer a defeat to Tyrone.


James Horan's side will be targetting a third consecutive win over the Dubs when the game gets underway at 7 O'Clock on Sunday night, at Croke Park.
