Sweeping changes to Mayo Under 17 team for Connacht semi-final

Mayo managers David Heaney and Tom Reilly and their selectors have named their team to face Galway in the Electric Ireland Connacht GAA Under 17 Football Championship semi-final.

The two teams met two weeks ago in the group stages with both knowing they would have this semi-final coming up to determine who would meet Roscommon in the Connacht final.

Mayo changed up the team greatly for that game, and it's all change again for the encounter this evening (6.30 p.m. in Hastings Insurance MacHale Park, Castlebar).

Ballinrobe's Barry Langan will captain the team in this evening's game, which will be refereed by Barry Judge from Sligo.

The game will be live streamed by TG4 YouTube, and Midwest Radio will have live commentary courtesy of Stephen Grealis and Tomas Morley. Tickets can be purchased from Universe.
