Mayo GAA joint hurling managers Brian Finn and Ray Larkin have announced their team to face Armagh in Round one of the Allainz National Hurling League on Sunday the 4th February at 1pm at Hastings Insurance MacHale Park. They have made eight changes to their team that played New York in the Connacht League final. Most of the Tooreen contingents are now back in full training and the management have wasted little time in bolstering their side. Bobby Douglas starts in goals ahead of Davog Frayne, Danny Hill Ballyhaunis comes into the full-back line with Luke Connor and Conor Murray either side of him. Senior hurling captain David Kenny slots into centre back with Conal Hession and former Clare footballer Eoghan Collins making up a strong back line.
Daniel Huane will now partner John Heraty at midfield while upfront Liam Lavin and Sean Kenny come into the team. Cormac Phillips will operate on the edge of the square against Armagh with Oisin Greally, Adrian Phillips and Eoin Delaney all named in the new look attack.
Caymon Flynn from Westmeath is down to officiate at the game.
Midwest Radio will have coverage from 1pm with live commentary from Michael D McAndrew and Sean O'Raghallaigh. Mayo GAA will have live updates on all social media platforms from Hastings Insurance MacHale Park on Sunday.
