Exciting teams
Mayo host Kerry in a repeat of last year’s All-Ireland semi-final in MacHale Park, Castlebar on Saturday evening.
Stephen Rochford’s side got their league campaign off to a flying start when they defeated Monaghan by virtue of a last gasp point from that man Paddy Durcan in Clones.

Here’s the home side’s starting 15.
