All-Ireland U21 football winner David Kenny has been called up to the Mayo starting fifteen for tomorrow's Nicky Rackard Cup final against Armagh at Croke Park.

The Aghamore/Tooreen clubman replaces Kieran McDermott at midfield in the only change to the side that defeated Donegal by 1-18 to 2-11 in the semi-final.

Dual-star centre-forward Keith Higgins was only a 19-year-old when the county's senior hurlers last played at HQ in 2004.

Higgins lined out in defence as they lost out to Kildare in the All-Ireland B final on a scoreline of 3-14 to 3-7 twelve years ago.

Mayo (SHC v Armagh): Donal O'Brien; Brian Hunt, Gerard McManus, Eoghan Collins; Cathal Freeman, Padraig O'Flynn, Austin Lyons; David Kenny, Ciaran Charlton; Joseph McManus, Keith Higgins, Sean Regan; Shane Boland, Kenny Feeney, Darren McTigue.

Subs: Andrew Butler, Fergal Boland, Kieran McDermott, Gary Nolan, Patrick Connell, Adrian Brennan, John Cotter, Corey Scahill, Sean Mulroy, David Harrison, Aidan Connolly.
