Three championship debutants for Mayo

 
JOHN O'Mahony has given championship debuts to three players for Sunday's opening round Connacht Senior Football Championship clash in New York.

Knockmore's Kevin McLoughlin, Ballinrobe's Donal Vaughan and Breaffy's Aidan O'Shea all feature in the first fifteen for a senior championship game for the first time.

All three were integral members of the Mayo U-21 team which lost the All-Ireland semi-final to Down last month. Another member of that team – Tom Parsons – is also on the first fifteen after making his debut last year.

There are welcome returns after injury problems for Trevor Howley and Barry Moran. Andy Moran, who had spent most of the National Football League at left-half back, makes a return to corner-forward.

Trevor Mortimer will lead the team from centre-half forward.

Mayo travel to New York minus Conor Mortimer (injury), Mark Ronaldson, Seamus O'Shea, Kenneth O'Malley (all exams) and Keith Higgins (hurling commitments).

Sunday's game throws –in at 3pm local time, 8pm Irish time. It will be carried live on Mid West Radio.

Mayo team to face New York in full: 1, David Clarke, Ballina; 2, Liam O'Malley, Burrishoole; 3, Ger Cafferkey, Ballina; 4, Kevin McLoughlin, Knockmore; 5, Peadar Gardiner, Crossmolina; 6, Trevor Howley, Knockmore; 7, Donal Vaughan, Ballinrobe; 8, Tom Parsons, Charlestown; 9, Ronan McGarrity, Ballina; 10, Pat Harte, Ballina; 11, Trevor Mortimer, Shrule/Glencorrib; 12, Alan Dillon, Ballintubber; 13, Andy Moran, Ballaghaderreen; 14, Aidan O'Shea, Breaffy; 15, Barry Moran, Castlebar.

Rosnarun, roughly how long to travel there from Manhattan (6th Avenue)

If I remember correctly it is about a 30- 40 minute subway ride from Mid Town on the #1 train. The drive from Manhattan Mid Town would take the same if there is no traffic...make sure the Yankees are not playing at home that day.If there is 4 of you together take a taxi up to Gaelic Park it should not be to expensive.

[Farrandeelin]

Have to say I'm happy enough with that team. I'd haveHarte at no 11 though instead of Trevor, but seeing as Trevor is the captain I suppose Johnno would hardly change him. I just don't like him at no 11. A Moran back in the FF line, I have to say I didn't see that one coming, but hopefully he will do the job.

[Tubberman]

We won't learn much this Sunday, but I hope the two big men can stay fit so we can all have a proper look at them in action together against Ros/Leitrim.
Or will Aidan O'Shea miss that match because of the leaving cert? 
Presumably Cunniffe is out because of that injury that was mentioned. If he was fit, I'd have him at CHB with Howley instead of Vaughan, or Howley at CHB with Cunniffe instead of Vaughan.
As others have mentioned, not too excited about Andy at corner forward, but he's a favourite of Johnno so it was always pretty likely there'd be a place for him.
Overall a good team though, hopefully none of the exiles tries to make a name for himself by taking out one of our lads.
Hopefully we see some promise from the FF line, a solid return for Howley, and no injuries.

[kevmy]

Yeah the team is grand.

Only two real sticking points are Cunniffe and Andy.

Presumably Cunniffe isn't being risked because of injury but someone will miss out at half back this year - actually a few will as we have good cover there.

As for Andy, well it's a toss up between him and Austie I'd say and I think the last few years have proven it's probably 50-50 between the two of them.

is there not 4 Debutants with Ger Cafferkey as well

[Foreverhopeful]

Surprised to see andy moran back there. Thought austie would have been there but maybe andy gonna come out around midfield/half-forward.

[dodo]

With 2 big men inside I would think that the third man would have to be very mobile, something that Austie cannot be accused of. The half forward line looks very promising.

[Foreverhopeful]

i suppose but in fairness the 2 big boys are very mobile....

You're right Deel Rover, Ger Cafferkey is making his debut too. I've done a piece on the four new lads -

Funny looking at that team you wouldn't think they would get to a Final beating the champions on the way would you? The current team if anything looks better overall, especially if Conor is in the corner.
