Mayo boss O’Mahony bides time on Moran call

MAYO manager John O’Mahony is to give injured full-forward Barry Moran every chance to be fit to line out in Sunday’s last All-Ireland football quarter-final clash with Meath.

Moran broke a metacarpal bone in his hand at Mayo training last week but he has been named in the team for Sunday’s game at Croke Park (throw-in 2pm), subject to a late fitness test.

Moran’s inclusion means there is only one change from the team that started in Mayo’s Connacht final victory over Galway – Ballinrobe’s Donal Vaughan coming in at right-corner back for Liam O’Malley.
