It may be overshadowed by news of Diarmuid Connolly’s upheld suspension for Saturday’s replay, but Mayo have announced their team to face Dublin tonight.

The Westerners have announced the same line-up that played in the drawn game, with David Clarke and Barry Moran remaining on the bench.

Andy Moran may also have to sit-out the first whistle, with no room for the game-levelling hero in the team.

Rob Hennelly and David Drake continue in the starting team so, with Chris Barrett again named at number six.

Donal Vaughan also retains his full-back berth after recovering from a shoulder injury.

Mayo lost out to Kerry in a semi-final replay last year and will be hoping to reverse that outcome to earn a crack at the Kingdom in the final.

Mayo team to face Dublin:

Robert Hennelly (Breaffy);

Ger Cafferkey (Ballina Stephenites), Donal Vaughan (Ballinrobe), Keith Higgins (Ballyhaunis, Captain);

Lee Keegan (Westport), Chris Barrett (Belmullet), Colm Boyle (Davitts);

Seamus O’Shea (Breaffy), Tom Parsons (Charlestown Sarsfields);

Diarmuid O’Connor (Ballintubber), Aidan O’Shea (Breaffy), Kevin McLoughlin (Knockmore);

David Drake (Ballaghaderreen ), Cillian O’Connor (Ballintubber), Jason Doherty (Burrishoole).
