Tom Parsons confident sweeping changes will pay off for Mayo

Tom Parsons has defended the rearranging of players in the Mayo team that has seen Kevin O’Loughlin moved into a sweeper role and Aidan O’Shea toggling between defence, midfield, and attack.

Manager Stephen Rochford hasn’t been afraid to try new things this year. During the league, Lee Keegan operated in the full-back line with mixed results.

However, he has persisted with McLoughlin operating in front of the full-back line despite it being a prime case of robbing Peter to pay Paul.
