Mayo GAA U20 hurling manager Brian Finn has made one change to his team ahead of their crucial U20B All-Ireland hurling semi-final against Derry this Saturday, April 15 at 1:00pm at Kingspan Breffni Park in Cavan.
The solitary change from their comprehensive victory over Armagh in the quarter-final two weeks ago sees Claremorris defender Michael Foody start ahead of Casieal Gaels Matthew Connor.
Foody is named at full-back in a reshuffled backline that sees Eoghan Ketterick move from midfield to centre-back, Joe O'Donnell moving from full-back to wing-back and the impressive Malcolm MacEvilly moving from wing-back to midfield.
Upfront the towering Cian Mulchrone will lead the attack at centre forward with Darren Murray and John Kennedy on the wings.
Ballyvary's rising star Sean McGhee, James Byrne from Tooreen and the deadly accurate Colm Engright are listed to start in the Mayo full-forward line.
The referee on the day will be Aidan McAleer from Donegal. Mayo GAA will have live updates across all social media on Saturday afternoon.
