Cathal Freeman will make his first championship start for Mayo since returning from injury last season in tomorrow's Nicky Rackard Cup opening round clash versus Tyrone in Carrickmore.

The Tooreen clubman is selected at left half-back as JP Coen's side begin their quest for a quick return to the second-tier in the Red Hand County.

Dual star Keith Higgins lines out at centre-forward having missed the latter stages of their Allianz HL Division 2B campaign through injury.

Mayo (SHC v Tyrone): Donal O'Brien; Shane Morley, Eoghan Collins, Brian Hunt; Austin Lyons, Padraig O'Flynn, Cathal Freeman; Ciaran Charlton, Noel Casey; Gary Nolan, Keith Higgins, Sean Regan; Shane Boland, Kenny Feeney, Sean Mulroy.
