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.
