Horan set to opt for same again against Dublin

James Horan is expected to name an unchanged starting team today ahead of Sunday’s All-Ireland SFC final with Dublin.

The Mayo manager could make one change on the bench where Kenneth O’Malley is anticipated to come in for Brendan Walsh as sub keeper following the Ballinrobe custodian’s recovery from an ankle injury picked up in June.

However, Cillian O’Connor will start after coming through last weekend’s Reds versus Greens training game unscathed. Former Mayo captain Noel Connelly believes it’s the right call but expects the young footballer of the year to be physically tested by Dublin early on.
