Mayo name unchanged team

Mayo manager James Horan has selected an unchanged team for tomorrow's All-Ireland SFC semi-final against Kerry at Croke Park (throw-in 3.30pm).

Influential wing back Trevor Mortimer is set to start despite doubts over his quad injury, while Tom Cunniffe and Keith Higgins swap corners in the full-back line.

With David Clarke suffering from damaged knee ligaments, Ballinrobe's Kenneth O'Malley has been added to the substitutes bench as reserve goalkeeper.

Also listed among the substitutes is Peadar Gardiner, who sustained a hamstring injury during Crossmolina's recent club Championship defeat to Ballintubber.

Mayo are hoping to pull off an unlikely Munster double, following their surprise quarter-final victory over Cork last time out.

Priming his side for another big game, Horan told the Mayo News: "Sometimes Mayo teams have a tendency to look at the strength of the opposition, but we've been looking at our areas of strength.

"Against Cork, I think we only played well for 50 minutes really so we need to push that out for 70 minutes. If we do, and play with the intensity that we did, plus a bit more, we'll be very competitive."

Mayo are priced at 10/3 by bookmakers to win tomorrow's clash. They are bidding to reach their first All-Ireland senior final since 2006 when the Kingdom beat them 4-15 to 3-5 in the decider.

MAYO (SFC v Kerry): Robert Hennelly; Tom Cunniffe, Ger Cafferkey, Keith Higgins; Richie Feeney, Donal Vaughan, Trevor Mortimer; Aidan O'Shea, Seamus O'Shea; Kevin McLoughlin, Alan Dillon (capt), Andy Moran; Enda Varley, Alan Freeman, Cillian O'Connor.
