Tyrone line-up changes for Mayo clash

Tyrone boss Mickey Harte has made four changes to the Red Hand side for Sunday afternoon's National Football League Division one match with Mayo at Healy Park.

Harte will hope to bounce back following his side's opening day defeat to Derry last Saturday night.

Pascal McConnell is back in between the post and replaces Johnny Curran, who started in last week's defeat to Derry.

Sean O'Neil, Davy Harte, and Ryan McMenamin are all included in the defence, as Ronan McNabb, Martin Swift and Colm Cavanagh drop down to the bench.

Mayo boss John O'Mahony has opted for minimal change to the team that won over Galway last week.

Alan Freeman comes into the side at wing-forward in place of Trevor Mortimer, who is suspended.

Meanwhile, Derry boss Damian Cassidy changed his injured attack for his clash with Dublin in Parnell Park on Saturday night.

Raymond Wilkinson has been ruled out after picking up a knee injury against Tyrone last Saturday and is replaced by Aidy McLoughlin.

Paddy Bradley is ruled out with a heel injury, while full-forward Eoin Bradley is out through suspension, with Enda Lynn starting at corner forward.

Caolan O'Boyle moves to wing-forward.
