There is a landmark appearance on the way for Aidan O’Shea

Mayo boss Stephen Rochford has made just one change to his team for this weekend’s All-Ireland Senior Football Championship Round 4A qualifier against Cork.

Rochford has recalled Tom Parsons to his midfield at the expense of Donie Vaughan. Parsons missed out on the win over Clare with the flu.

Elsewhere, Andy Moran and Keith Higgins are both named in the starting 15. Both featured from the first whistle against Clare but had not been named in the original team released to the media.

Aidan O’Shea will make his 100th appearance for Mayo – 46 championship and 54 league – on Saturday [5pm] in a game that takes place at the Gaelic Grounds and will be broadcast on Sky Sports.
