Mayo senior football manager Kevin McStay and his management team have made one change to the team that face Kerry in the Allianz National Football League Division One Final this Sunday 30th March at 4pm in Croke Park.

Mayo and Kerry have met on 55 previous occasions in League action, with the Kingdom being the county Mayo have met most often in League fare. Mayo and Kerry first met in the League 1928, when the Kingdom won a semi-final meeting between the counties on a 0-6 to 0-4 score-line, in a game that was played in Castlebar. The Munstermen hold an overall advantage, 27 wins to 24, with four games drawn. Three of those games have been League finals, with Kerry coming out on top in 1971 and 1972, and Mayo winning the most recent final meeting in 2019.
Since the turn of the century Mayo has had the upper-hand in League meetings between the two counties. Of the 23 meetings between the counties since 2000, Mayo has 13 wins, to the Kingdom’s 9, with the 2012 meeting in Tralee finishing all square. 11 different venues have hosted League meetings between the counties. Tralee and Castlebar both with 16 have been the most popular, while there were 7 meetings in Croke Park in the latter stages of the competition, including three final meetings. Other venues used have been Ballina 4, Killarney 3, Crossmolina 2, Salthill 2, and Thurles, Limerick, Listowel and Ennis with one meeting each.
