GAA:Dublin manager Pat Gilroy has made four changes for their re-fixed Allianz Football League Division 1 clash with Mayo in McHale Park, Castlebar tomorrow (7pm). James McCarthy who missed the victory over Donegal returns to the team in place of new addition to the senior panel, Johnny Cooper.

At midfield Ross McConnell will partner Michael Darragh Macauley, the St Oliver Plunkett’s/Eoghan Ruadh man having started against both Laois and Kerry in the current campaign.

Paul Brogan will replace Paul Flynn at wing-forward. The attack will be led by Barry Cahill, making his first start of the league, in place of Alan Brogan. The latter has a calf injury will looks almost certain to also rule him out of Sunday week’s concluding regulation league game with Cork in Pairc Ui Chaoimh.

Dublin:S Cluxton; C O'Sullivan, R O'Carroll, P McMahon; J McCarthy, G Brennan, K Nolan; M D Macauley, R McConnell; P Brogan, B Cahill, B Cullen (capt); T Quinn, D Connolly, K McManamon.
