Cillian O’Connor’s goal against Galway in Salthill last Sunday, marked his 39th in both league and championship matches for Mayo, equalling the record set by Paddy Moclair, who achieved 39 goals between 1930 and 1940. Cillian stands as Mayo’s all-time leading scorer, amassing a total of 39 goals and 507 points since his debut in 2011.

There is one change to the team that faced Galway in the first round, with Paul Towey, who impressed on his outing to Pearse Stadium, recalled to the starting fifteen in place of Tommy Conroy. Paddy Durcan, Castlebar Mitchels will captain the team on the day.

Longford referee, Fergal Kelly, will be the man in the middle for this encounter.
