Exciting young talent Carr on Mayo squad to face Leitrim

ARDAGH'S exciting young Gaelic footballer, James Carr, who is one of the five development squad members who train with the county senior team, is expected to play some part in the Connaught Junior football championship final between Mayo and Leitrim this evening (Wednesday) in Fr. O'Hara Memorial Park, Charlestown, at 7 p.m.

Carr, who has been released by the Mayo senior management for this encounter, has been showing up very well in training with the county senior squad and is highly regarded and one of the brightest prospects in the county.

Although not listed in Mayo's first 15 for this evening's final, it will come as no great shock to see north Mayo's young star starting.

As it stands there is only one change on the Mayo team which started the semi-final clash with Sligo, Barry Duffy replacing Sean Gaughan at wing-back.
