Mayo boss Stephen Rochford has opted to keep the same fifteen for tomorrow's All-Ireland SFC final replay against Dublin at Croke Park.

Rochford and his selectors Donie Buckley, Tony McEntee and Sean Carey have decided to stick with the side that started the drawn game two weeks ago.

Cillian O'Connor's 77th-minute injury-time point earned the Connacht kingpins a 0-15 to 2-9 draw with the reigning All-Ireland champions - the team-captain retains the number 15 jersey despite twisting his ankle the previous day.

There are doubts about whether Alan Dillon is fit to play a part after the veteran forward suffered a bruised foot last time out but fellow substitute Evan Regan has recovered from concussion having being involved in a collision near the end.

Mayo (SFC v Dublin): David Clarke; Brendan Harrison, Donal Vaughan, Keith Higgins; Lee Keegan, Colm Boyle, Patrick Durcan; Seamus O'Shea, Tom Parsons; Kevin McLoughlin, Aidan O'Shea, Diarmuid O'Connor; Jason Doherty, Andy Moran, Cillian O'Connor.
