Dillon and Campbell included by Mayo

Forwards Alan Dillon and Aidan Campbell have been included in the Mayo team to take on Dublin in Sunday's crunch NFL Division 1A tie (Castlebar, throw-in 3.30pm), despite concerns over their fitness.

Mayo manager John O'Mahony has named an unchanged team for the clash, having been encouraged by the showing in last Sunday's 1-12 to 2-8 triumph over Cork.

Dillon suffered a back-related hamstring injury during last weekend's tight win but the Ballintubber clubman looks set to start against the Dubs.

Campbell, who hails from the Swinford club, has been listed at right half forward for the repeat of last year's All-Ireland SFC semi-final. The youngster has recovered from the thigh injury which forced him to miss the second half of the victory over Cork.

Campbell's replacement against the Rebels, Marty McNicholas injured his foot playing for Breaffy in a county League game last Sunday. His foot is currently in a cast and is due to be reassessed by the Mayo medical staff.

Team captain Kevin O'Neill will again be amongst the Mayo substitutes as he seeks a full recovery from a hamstring injury, while midfielder David Brady (calf) and forwards Trevor Mortimer (metatarsal) and Ciaran McDonald (back) remain on the sidelines.

Mayo are gunning for their fifth win in six league games this weekend. They are currently second in the Division 1A standings with just two games of the regulation phase remaining.

MAYO (NFL v Dublin) - K O'Malley; L O'Malley, J Kilcullen, K Higgins; E Devenney, BJ Padden, P Gardiner; P Harte, D Heaney; A Campbell, A Kilcoyne, G Brady; C Mortimer, A Dillon, A Moran.
