Mayo manager Stephen Rochford has handed David Clarke the goalkeeper's jersey ahead of Robbie Hennelly for tomorrow's All-Ireland SFC Qualifier against Fermanagh at MacHale Park.

Making his first championship start since last August, Clarke comes in between the posts for Hennelly as Rochford makes three changes from the surprise 1-12 to 0-12 Connacht semi-final defeat to Galway in Castlebar last month.

The other two changes are enforced as the experienced Seamus O'Shea and 2015 Young Footballer of the Year Diarmuid O'Connor replace injured duo Tom Parsons (hamstring) and Jason Gibbons (shoulder).

Mayo (SFC v Fermanagh): David Clarke; Brendan Harrison, Kevin Keane, Keith Higgins; Lee Keegan, Colm Boyle, Patrick Durcan; Seamus O'Shea, Stephen Coen; Kevin McLoughlin, Aidan O'Shea, Diarmuid O'Connor; Evan Regan, Jason Doherty, Cillian O'Connor.
